Synopsis

We’re familiar with the expression “the elephant in the room.” This book is about the elephant in the church - the prevalence of pornography use by Christians, even church leaders. Consider these statistics:

• 62% of evangelical men view porn monthly
• 13% of Christian men say they are addicted to porn
• More Christians view porn daily than non-Christians
• 37% of pastors admit to a struggle with porn

 “Porn in the Pew” not only describes the problem but it directs us to the solution.

If you struggle with porn, then you need this book. If you are a church leader, then it is essential that you study this book. If you are a church member, this book can open your eyes to how to help others who are struggling.

About this title

Review

This book is packed with facts and helpful information. “There’s Still Hope” is a ministry that will walk with you hand in hand to see God’s victory. Mark and Beth have experienced God’s grace and restoration in their own lives. I more than endorse them. I salute them for being obedient, transparent servants willing to help others experience Christ-centered recovery.

Mark Denison has been my dear friend for over 35 years. He is spiritually in tune and culturally relevant. His most recent book, Porn in the Pew, is a must read, combining years of scholarship blended with his own story to create a life-giving book for those who struggle with addiction and a tool for church leaders who seek to be restorative, healing communities of grace.

Ray Waters  Senior Pastor, Village Church  Atlanta, Georgia

 

Mark has drawn from his own experience as a pastor and a recovering person to write a great guide to help the church navigate some very choppy waters. This is the kind of practical and biblical advice we need.

Greg Oliver  Founder, Awaken Ministry for Sex/Porn Addiction  Birmingham, Alabama

Porn in the Pew is both enlightening and from the heart. It provides desperately needed insight for how to minister and respond to those in the pew as well as the pulpit, who are impacted by the epidemic of sex and porn addiction. I applaud Dr. Denison for his work. I highly recommend it!

Mark Denison fell into a hole. Rather than wallow there, he had the courage to climb out. Now he’s helping other men find their way to freedom. If you want to be free, read Porn in the Pew. It’s a great resource for those who struggle with porn or sex addiction, as well as for church leaders who wish to confront this massive problem.

David Murrow  Author, Why Men Hate Going to Church

 

Pornography is a silent crisis within the church. Everyone knows it is a problem, but few are speaking up with constructive solutions. Mark sweeps away taboos and tackles the topic with honesty and clarity, providing real-world solutions for the church.

Steve Bezner   Senior Pastor, Houston’s Northwest Baptist Church Houston, Texas

Faith, hope, and love . . . I’m so glad that HOPE is surrounded by our faith and God’s love. Thank you, Mark and Beth, for all three! Like the old song says, “It is no secret what God can do. What he’s done for others, he can do for you.” Porn in the Pew is a great resource for churches and church leaders. I highly recommend it!

Dr. Dennis Swanberg

Author, No More Secrets

 

Mark points out two great truths. Those addicted to porn are on the road to destruction, and Christ has a higher purpose. God has raised this ministry to help you on your journey toward recovery. Every church leader needs to read Porn in the Pew.
