Hard Core: Defeating Sexual Temptation with a Superior Satisfaction, by Jason Hardin, is a straightforward little book about an uncomfortable topic. So many—men and women included—are being slaughtered in their struggle with sexual sin. Individual lives, marriages, children, friendships, influences for good, ministries of gospel preachers, and entire congregations of the Lord’s people are being seriously impacted. It is commendable for us to sing, “Soldiers of Christ arise and put your armor on.” But if we sing those words, then proceed to ignore where the battle is being lost, the devastation will only continue to grow.
Hard Core is published by DeWard Publishing. Its 106 pages are broken down into fifteen chapters, with each chapter containing six “Core Questions” for personal reflection or group discussion. Retail: $7.99. IMAGE DISCOUNT – $6.99.
