God’s Battle Plan for the Mind


Book Description

During the seventeenth century, English Puritan pastors often encouraged their congregations in the spiritual discipline of meditating on God and His Word. Today, however, much of evangelicalism is either ignorant of or turned off to the idea of meditation. In God’s Battle Plan for the Mind , pastor David Saxton seeks to convince God’s people of the absolute necessity for personal meditation and motivate them to begin this work themselves. But he has not done this alone. Rather, he has labored through numerous Puritan works in order to bring together the best of their insights on meditation. Standing on the shoulders of these giants, Saxton teaches us how to meditate on divine truth and gives valuable guidance about how to rightly pattern our thinking throughout the day. With the rich experiential theology of the Puritans, this book lays out a course for enjoying true meditation on God’s Word. Table of Contents: 1. The Importance of Recovering the Joyful Habit of Biblical Meditation 2. Unbiblical Forms of Meditation 3. Defining Biblical Meditation 4. Occasional Meditation 5. Deliberate Meditation 6.

Every Parent's Battle


Book Description

Ever struggled to find the right words to talk about the threat of pornography with your kids? Too many of us avoid the subject, depending on simple technology filters to protect them. Yet children at very early ages are under attack and at risk to fall prey to pornography addiction. As parents, we must be prepared to deal with the issue head-on. Every Parent’s Battle: A Family Guide to Resisting Pornography not only exposes the frightening prevalence of pornography in our sex-obsessed culture, it equips parents with concrete and tested strategies to educate their kids about intimacy, human dignity, and sexuality as God intended it to be. “Dan Spencer’s new book … provides Catholic and other parents with tools and strategies that are aimed at prevention, rather than recovery, in the spiritual battle for the virtue of chastity…. I heartily recommend this book for your family’s happiness and the joyful embracing of life and dignity offered to us by Jesus Christ.” — ARCHBISHOP JOSEPH F. NAUMANN, ARCHDIOCESE OF KANSAS CITY, KANSAS “The Roman Empire was a pornographic society - with all the misery that implies - but our own society is far worse. History shows that this problem can be overcome in only one way: the way of the Christian family. Dan Spencer shows us, in practical terms, what that means for us as parents. Reading this book is not just a good idea. It’s a duty.” — MIKE AQUILINA, EWTN HOST AND AUTHOR OF SEVEN REVOLUTIONS: HOW CHRISTIANITY CHANGED THE WORLD AND CAN CHANGE IT AGAIN
