Beyond Accountability

Description

This eBook Nate tells an important story about pornography and sexual addiction. It is a story that Christians, especially Christian leaders, need to hear.  Nate’s story is about many of the men in our churches (young and old), and it’s the story of an increasing number of women in our churches. It is a hidden, invisible plague. In every church, there are disciples of Jesus who are trapped and desperately need help. They need wise disciple makers—authentic friends—who can guide them along a similar path to the one Nate describes.

Christians and Christian leaders are trying to do the right thing, but most of us do not have a real-world understanding of sin, addiction, and recovery. We mean well, but our attempts are misguided. We need a real-world understanding of addiction and recovery. We need everyday disciple makers who have real-world knowledge to help people walk the path of recovery.

Nate Larkin is a preacher’s kid. He earned an undergraduate degree from St. Lawrence University, where he majored in Religious Studies, and an M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary, where he majored in preaching and won the preaching prize in 1982.
