Fighting for Holiness in Iraq
Several months ago we received a request for books from a Chaplain serving in Iraq. We sent boxes of CJ Mahaney's "The Cross Centered Life" and "Not Even a Hint." The following are from two different letters we got back. And we loved the picture they sent.
"On behalf of the chapel staff here at Multi-National Corps Iraq here at Camp Victory, we would like to thank you for your support of our troops. Your books were a blessing for all the men and women here serving in Iraq. We appreciate your dedication and support in helping us provide religious support for the troops."
"...the most popular book of all was the one about LUST by Joshua Harris, "Not Even a Hint." Amazing how many soldiers sailors & Marines have worn out the pages of this book. We ran out quicker of this book. They are so hungry for ANY advice on how to keep themselves pure, especially in this loose morals environment of war is hell ethose on the base camps. There has been a lot of "hooking up" and so many are tempted to follow that course of sin and try to walk with Christ too. So those who know that is wrong are very eager for the truth."
Please join us in praying for the men and women serving in Iraq and Afganistan. Pray not only for their physical well-being but for their spiritual health.

Church?
"I am reading Joshua Harris book Stop Dating the Church...love it. He talks about the people who believe they can be Christians and never go to church. I have heard this argument many times. They don't believe you have to fellowship..." (Read full post here.)
Jargon Meets Advice

A Brief Review
"I think this book [Sex is Not the Problem (Lust Is)] would appeal to both teenagers and parents, although I would give the parents the book first to read. This is not explicit in its language but it does tackle the difficult questions." (Read full post here.)
