10 Lies Men believe about Porn
by Steven Kuhn

What if using pornography is just a symptom of something deeper going on inside of you?  10 Lies Men Believe About Porn holds lies up against the truth of Scripture. You’ll learn how they deceive us into missing out on the freedom Christ offers us. Ultimately, you’ll discover that the message of the gospel isn’t about learning to fight better-it’s about no longer needing to fight at all. That is the type of freedom Jesus came to offer you.

In the end, this powerful book shows us all how the barrier built by porn addiction can become a bridge to abundant life.
