The Sex Spiral by Dustin Daniels

The Sex Spiral
Forgiven and Free from Pornography
by 
(Ambassador International 2018)


"There is a direct correlation between the confusion and apathy within our churches and the pandemic of pornography in our pews. Unfortunately, the statistics are too big to quote and we don't believe them when we do. How is it possible that so many Christians are addicted to pornography?"

And with those statements, Dustin Daniels brings a reader a book that delves into the world of sex addiction. Whether some people want to admit or not, sex addiction does abound and a prime target is a Christian.

This isn't a "self-help" book nor a 12-step guide to overcome addiction to sex and pornography. This book starts with how to view this addiction; hence, the title of the book, addiction is seen as a spiral. One that quickly spins out of control and consumes a life.

The first pages explain this and the biblical view of sexuality. It then defines sexual sin: adultery, divorce, fornication, homosexuality, masturbation, polygamy, pornography, prostitution, and rape. Each are explained and supported as sin with biblical references.

As said, this isn't a 12-step program, but a book written by an author who is transparent about his own addiction and the 12 triggers of the sin spiral that lead to an addiction. 

The Sex Spiral teaches the reader God's design for sexuality and how, with Jesus' grace, a person can exit the spiral with a purity plan.

Whether your addiction is pornography, adultery, or lustful thoughts (think about those secular romances or movies with sex scenes and where thoughts go during those scenes) this book helps a person gain freedom from a bondage they may never have known about or recognized.

Written with raw honesty Dustin Daniels doesn't preach. He writes his words lovingly and with no sugar coating.

Definitely a book I would recommend to every person. Even if you don't have this kind of addiction, it will help you in understanding those that do; and will help you in ministering to them.

God's Name is a Tower by LeAnne Blackmore

God's Name is a Tower by LeAnne Blackmore (Ambassador International 2019) "You are my strong tower--" This line from the book resonates. With its whimsical illustrations, the book captures the essence of that statement. A child's faith is innocent and our faith should be like that, too. Each page affirms the truth of the Bible and of Jesus. It is a wonderful book that will build up a child's confidence and strength. Little truths about blessings, how Jesus sees us, the power of His word, and so on are brought to the young reader as a beautifully written rhyme. One unique addition, which I haven't seen in any other book, is the added Scripture at the bottom of the page. It relates to the story and gives even more depth to the truth taught. Of course the best part was saved for last: "For You are my Comforter,  You are my Guide,  To You I will run-- I'll find shelter inside." This may be written for ch

Shirley Corder's Strength Renewed

Shirley Corder's Strength Renewed: Mediations for Your Journey through Breast Cancer Shirley Corder's Strength Renewed is not just for those who suffer or have suffered from breast cancer...it is also for those who suffer from depression, anxiety, lethargy, pain, and all other "cancers" in life. From page one I found myself uplifted by Shirley's words. Although I have read the passages of Scripture before, I reread them with new understanding and new life. Just as her book provides new life to hope. I am listing a few things at the beginning that captured me so thoroughly that I went back and reread that chapter of meditation: " Jesus and his disciples came across a man who had been blind all his life. 'Who's to blame for this man's blindness?' the disciples asked Jesus. 'No one," Jesus replied. He explained that God's power would be revealed as a result of the man's disability.... ...Cancer is finite. God is way
