The reason is primarily the theologically controversial content. As a conservative-minded evangelical, I knew I was in for a journey the moment I saw a Rob Bell endorsement in the front of the book.

In the Christian church and the world at large today, addiction to pornography is not just a crisis, it is the crisis. Feels Like Redemption powerfully teaches that this journey into sexual and spiritual health is not a battle. The approach for many has been to label this a war, and scores of books and teachers have tried to show that using various control methods and tools in order to deal with the problem leads to freedom.

In this groundbreaking new book on an age-old topic, author Seth Taylor leads us into the question: "Is there any real power? And if there is, why don't we see it more?" With this question as the starting point, Taylor shows listeners how to peel back the layers of all the things people are medicating with pornography and other "drugs." He gives listeners the t
