Just One More

When Desires Don’t Take No for an Answer

I hate doing this. I love doing this. Sometimes our desires can be cruel lovers. We think we should be rid of a particular desire, but we feel stuck. “What’s the use in trying to rid my life of this desire?”, we ask ourselves. “I’ve tried, but there’s just no way out for me.” Or is there? The problem may be more complicated than just being stuck. Might there be a path to true change? If so, would you want to take that path? Author Ed Welch may surprise you with his answers.
