Track Christian Life - A (Female) Student’s Guide to Purity in a Porn-Saturated Culture
ISBN: 9781527111714Director of Training and Resources for Biblical Counselling UK, Helen Thorne-Allenson gives us this essential guide for young women to what the Bible says about pornography.
We live in a world where pornography is easy to access. At the click of a button, it tempts us to use our devices and bodies to get a cheap hit of excitement, devoid of any real human interaction or care.
But God calls us to a life which is the opposite of that.
Helen Thorne-Allenson shares not only a convincing explanation as to why looking at porn is unhelpful but also some practical tips for breaking the habit.
Each chapter ends with questions for reflection and discussion, and there is a list of helpful resources at the back of the book.
This book contains no graphic detail about the contents of porn. There is no manipulating you to feel guilty for decisions you may have made in the past. And there is no pretending that living for Jesus is always easy. There is, however, an honest look at who we are, what pornography is, why we are here, and how God is calling us to live - and an invitation to follow him into a future that is beautiful beyond compare.
Track is a series of books designed to disciple the next generation in the areas of culture, doctrine, and the Christian life. While the topics addressed aren't always simple, they are communicated in a manner that is.
With the intention of the content being absorbed, examined and applied, each chapter includes a summary of the main point, and reflection questions that can be used individually, in 1-2-1 mentoring or in a group setting.
