Most of us feel a sense of "something missing" in our lives from time to time. We often view it as a signal to pick up the pace: to try more extreme activities, buy more "goodies," or throw over old relationships. Strangely, though, it seems that the harder we pursue satisfaction, the more elusive it becomes. We get caught in a downward spiral, acquiring more and more and enjoying it less and less. Wanting More shows how to reverse that trend so that we can appreciate and enjoy life to the fullest. It's a compelling look at time-honored principles of self-control, patience, and increased awareness and how they can work for anyone, regardless of the person's circumstances. As author Mark Chamberlain writes, "The good news- the great news - is that we are not dependent for pleasure on the raw material in our lives. Enjoyment, I have discovered, is up to us.

We've all known the struggle of trying to change. We grit our teeth, clench our fists, and exert all our willpower to overcome bad habits, attitudes, or lifestyles. And all too often we fail. Why are most of us so weak? Why do we grapple with the same problems day after day, year after year? Willpower Is Not Enough gives a convincing and enlightening answer: we weren't meant to overcome weaknesses by willpower alone. In fact, willpower is actually one of the least effective weapons in our arsenal of change. When we seek to change through willpower, we enlist the power of our conscious minds to help with our problems. But most problems of self-control are not problems of the mind. They're problems of the heart - problems of desire, feeling, and emotion. And when the heart and the mind get into a battle, neither one wins. Willpower Is Not Enough does more than explain why we don't succeed at change. It also takes us step-by-step through the process of enlisting the powers of the heart. It tells how to find the motivating power of the heart, how to recognize and nourish the good in the heart, and how to come to a mighty change in heart.

The scourge of pornography. Anyone can be trapped in its snare, lured by curiosity and the pervading influence of the media. "Continued exposure leads to addiction that is almost impossible to break," warns President Gordon B. Hinckley. "Men, so very many, find they cannot leave it alone. Their energies and their interests are consumed in their dead-end pursuit of this raw and sleazy fare." The common lament of many is: "I wanted to stop, but I didn’t know how." Confronting Pornography is filled with answers. A collection of articles from professional counselors, leaders, and individuals who have dealt with pornography problems personally, this useful book is an invaluable resource. It offers understanding, powerful tools based in gospel principles, and, most of all, hope.
