for small group study."

Situation: A member of your congregation tells you he struggles with
pornography. What would you say?
Situation: A distraught wife reveals that she discovered her husband visiting
porn sites. What advice would you give?
Situation: A church leader confides that he abandoned pornography more than a
year ago but wonders if he can ever regain his wife’s trust. What do you tell him?
More and more pastors are confronting situations like these every day. If you
haven’t, you will.
Let’s be honest. Pornography is an uncomfortable subject. But it now ranks as
the number one problem for Christian men, and it is destroying families, the
lifeblood of your church. You can choose to address this problem or ignore it--
but it isn’t going away.
Wouldn’t it be a great blessing to be able to get an inside look at the struggles of
a couple torn apart by pornography and the challenges they encounter on the
road to restoration?
The Shadow Christian allows you to do just that. This simple yet profound tale
written as a parable puts you in the shoes of an ordinary man and woman who
must deal with the consequences of sexual sin. This soul-searching journey of
hope offers great insight into the dynamics between a husband and wife as they
reexamine every aspect of their relationship with each other and with God.
