This month, we are giving away two free eBooks on the topic of pornography and purity - The Porn Problem by Vaughan Roberts and Purity Is Possible by Helen Thorne. Our prayer is that these books will be a helpful resource as we think through, talk about, and walk alongside people with compassion and honesty.
The Porn Problem by Vaughan Roberts
Pornography is no longer universally looked down on as bad or unhelpful, but is often seen as something to enjoy without guilt.
Christians, however, work to a different agenda—one set by the Bible's revelation of the true meaning of sex and relationships.
This short book surveys the Christian worldview and applies it to the complex issues surrounding pornography, helping Christians know how to think about pornography, with biblical conviction and compassionate understanding for those influenced by it.
Discover the liberating and satisfying view of sex found in the gospel.

He is also a member of the executive committee of 9:38 Ministries, and the author of many books, including Talking Points: Transgender, God's Big Picture, and Battles Christians Face.
Purity Is Possible by Helen Thorne
One in five Christian women use pornography. One in three visitors to a porn site is a woman. Many, many more women read explicit books like Fifty Shades of Grey. Even more than that write their own pornography—not on paper for publication, but in their heads for their own use.
Helen Thorne knows all this because she's done it.
But no one talks about it. Our churches are silent on it. There are very few books about it. It is the unspoken struggle of thousands of Christian women—perhaps you, and probably someone you know.
But no more. In this refreshingly honest, resolutely hope-filled and gospel-soaked book, Helen speaks the unspoken. In doing so, she shows how purity is better and more satisfying than fantasy—and that, whoever you are and whatever your struggles, purity is possible.
