It has never been more difficult to flee sexual immorality and pursue holiness. We live in an age of unprecedented access to sexual temptation. Previous generations faced adultery, prostitution, and brothels. But not every person had a brothel in their pocket. Our society’s obsession with sex, coupled with the technologies that make pornography so accessible, make it more challenging than it’s ever been. The result is that our families, our churches, and our society are being devastated by a pornography epidemic.

With godly guidance and practical experience, Vernick offers an empathetic approach to recognizing an emotionally destructive relationship and addresses the symptoms and the damage with biblical tools.

In recent decades, the application of biblical principles that generate marital joy and happiness has diminished. Younger generations at large have aligned their marriages more with the precepts of the world than of Christ, leaving couples unfulfilled and unhappy.

In The Pursuit of Marriage Oneness: the Key to Marital Success, Dr. Wilson unveils the key to marriage fulfillment: understanding and walking in marital Oneness.

It frees us up to talk about the most important part of our lives in a way that’s natural, meaningful, and helpful instead of clumsy, awkward, and irrelevant.

«L'amicizia di Gesù ci ricorda che Dio mette una virgola dove noi credevamo possibile solo un punto finale.» L'amicizia è uno dei valori più importanti per ognuno di noi, ma anche un aspetto della vita così naturale, e a volte dato per scontato, che raramente ci fermiamo a riflettere su cosa significhi davvero la parola "amico". Se ci pensiamo, l'amico è chi cammina sempre al nostro fianco, anche se separato da migliaia di chilometri o da decine di anni di distanza: nell'amicizia, il lontano e la distanza sono dimensioni del tutto relative.

Don Fiorenzo Facchini in un libro stimolante, profondo e snello, tratta un tema delicato e urgente e il rischio di banalizzarlo, silenziarlo o di affrontarlo con pregiudizio, non è lontano dalla realtà dei fatti, anche là dove si vive un impegno educativo nei confronti delle nuove generazioni: parrocchie, movimenti, associazioni. L’Autore si augura che in questi “luoghi” si torni a parlare seriamente dell’argomento, senza dimenticare la scuola e la famiglia, soggetto primario di ogni formazione.
