Confronting Pornography: A Guide to Prevention and Recovery for Individuals, Loved Ones, and Leaders

The scourge of pornography. Even well-meaning Latter-day Saints can be trapped in its snare, lured by curiosity and the pervading influence of the media. "Continued exposure leads to addiction that is almost impossible to break," warns President Gordon B. Hinckley. "Men, so very many, find they cannot leave it alone. Their energies and their interests are consumed in their dead=end pursuit of this raw and sleazy fare." The common lament of many is: "I wanted to stop, but I didn’t know how." Confronting Pornography is filled with answers. A collection of articles from professional counselors, leaders, and individuals who have dealt with pornography problems personally, this useful book is an invaluable resource. It offers understanding, powerful tools based in gospel principles, and, most of all, hope.
