Integrity Restored: Helping Catholic Families Win the Battle Against Pornography is now available in Spanish.
The book takes an in-depth look at just how far the epidemic of pornography has spread. Pornography used to be considered “a men’s issue”, but now is increasingly sought after by women as well and is destroying marriages and robbing children’s innocence. This book includes real-life stories of people from all states of life – men, women, clergy, and teens – who were addicted to pornography and have found healing. There is hope. There is healing!
Of course, the plague of pornography does not only affect the English-speaking world but people of all ethnicities and backgrounds. The book’s release in Spanish is an important step towards informing an increasing number of people about the dangers of pornography and how to seek healing.
