"I really like David Powlison. Few of today's writers have shaped my approach to evangelical growth and even to preaching so much. Gifted Christian counselors like Powlison read the Bible in a special way. They expose both the truth of the Scriptures and the foundations of the human heart, revealing where the two intersect. I can't help but believe that in the first century, hearing Jesus preach one might conclude that he was an extremely gifted counselor. In this exceptionally relevant book, the author offers the hope of the gospel to those who have committed sexual sins and to those who have suffered from them. I am excited to offer this tool to people who, in this specific area of ​​their lives, may feel their need for the gospel for the first time.
