Pornography: Slaying the Dragon
$5.49Private sexual fantasy can preoccupy vast areas of a person’s mental life, notes David Powlison.

Even Christians can find that their lives have become a push-pull struggle between indulging in fantasy and resisting it. Is it really possible to slay the dragon of pornography and fantasy once it has gained control of your life?, asks Powlison. The answer is yes, as you will see from this interview with a man called Bob, who experienced Christ’s deliverance in this part of his life.

Raising Sexually Healthy Kids
$5.62In an increasingly sexualized world, it’s difficult to know how to teach your children about their sexuality in a godly way.

From his years of ministry on sexual issues, David White equips you to help your child form a positive, biblical framework for their sexuality. He walks you through how to build a basic foundation for understanding God’s purposes for sex, as well as giving you tips for how to address more complex issues that may arise as your child grows older and more aware of other expressions of sexuality.

Social Anxiety: Being Comfortable in Your Own Skin
$5.62“I’m just shy.” You’ve worn the label for so long that it has become your identity. A counselor recently described it as social anxiety, but the new label does nothing to ease the pain. You wish you could feel “comfortable in your own skin” but instead, in social situations, you feel anxious and out of place. Where can you go for help?
Amy Baker explains that confidence in God, not self-confidence, is the answer to the problem of social anxiety. Trusting in God breaks the paralyzing grip of fear, freeing formerly “shy” people to enter fully into relationship with God and others.

Stress: Peace Amid Pressure
$5.49Are you overwhelmed by stress? On edge? Pressured to achieve? Spinning into free fall? What is the “noise” going on inside you? Or are you quiet inside? David Powlison invites you to look at Psalm 131 to learn how to calm your soul. “Psalm 131 gives us intimate access to the inner life of someone who has learned composure,” Powlison writes.
“This person is quiet on the inside because he has learned the only true and lasting peace.” Psalm 131 is not about unruffled detachment or stoic indifference. It’s not about having an easygoing personality or low expectations. It is about learning composure through a relationship with Jesus Christ. His presence in our lives is the only thing strong enough to overpower stress. We can learn how to say with the psalmist, “Surely I have composed and quieted my soul.” (Psalm 131:2)

Why Me? Comfort for the Victimized
$5.49“Why is this happening to me? Where is God in my time of anguish?” Knowing our hearts, God has spoken powerful words of comfort.

David Powlison walks us through Psalm 10, helping us see its message of anguish and refuge. Can this ancient text help us in our pain today? Yes, because God is present and listening. What others may have meant for evil, God means for good.

The Biblical Counseling Movement After Adams (Heath Lambert)
$14.50Those inside and outside of the biblical counseling movement recognize growing differences between the foundational work of Jay Adams and that of current thought leaders such as David Powlison. But, as any student or teacher of the discipline can attest, those differences have been ill-defined and largely anecdotal until now.

Find out how the biblical counseling movement has changed and improved and how the present-day leadership differs from the leadership of the past, in a respectful effort to evaluate and advance the efficacy of biblical counseling.

Blame It On the Brain? (Edward T. Welch)
$12.50Distinguishing Chemical Imbalances, Brain Disorders, and Disobedience
Depression – ADD – Alcoholism – Homosexuality – is it really legitimate to say that “mental illness” is the source behind these? Or some other inclination of the mind, planted at birth by forces beyond our control? Are we making creative excuses for our disobedience to God?
Attempting to view the mind by an examination of what Scripture says about it, author Ed Welch shows us that some matters are rooted in the tastes of one’s heart. Perhaps some habits can actually be broken if we learn to think differently with a renewed mind.
