How?

Here’s powerful ammunition from two counselors on the front lines: Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker. It’s the companion to their challenging book Every Young Man’s Battle. And it’s all about how to guard your eyes and your mind - every moment of every day. How to handle the guilt God’s way. How to clean up your thought life.

His father’s “accidental” death suddenly isn’t looking so accidental. Carl, his estranged son, has returned to challenge his integrity and probe to find the man behind the TV unage.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5, RSV)

It all begins in Bacon’s Corner, a tiny farming community far from the interstate…An attempted murder, a case of mistaken identity - or is it covered up? , and a ruthless lawsuit against a struggling Christian school.

Sally Beth Roe, a young loner, a burn-out, a kind of “leftover hippie,” finds herself caught in the middle of these bizarre events, fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past.

Across a vast panorama of heart-stopping action, Sally Roe’s journey is a penetrating portrayal of our times, a reflection of our wanderings, and a vivid reminder of the redemptive power of the Cross.
