Affair of the Mind

Apr 11–12, 2005 - comments: 1

Pornography is not something Christians like to discuss. Every time we talk about it on the radio program, we receive criticism from people who think we shouldn’t even discuss the subject, yet, we also get an enormous response from people who have seen the negative side of pornography – sometimes through their own struggle and sometimes because someone they love is stuck in this briar patch.

And now with the Internet providing both instant availability and the appearance of anonymity, pornography is the foundation for one of the fastest growing addictions plaguing our society. Sadly, a recent George Barna poll revealed there is no discernable difference in pornography use between those who regularly attend church and those who don’t.

Laurie Hall knows first hand the havoc that pornography brings into a marriage and family. Her book, An Affair of the Mind, chronicles the story of her husband’s addiction.

Dear Richard Land, Monday 2007 June 04

I am glad to be able to find this interview of Laurie Hall in your archives. Is there a way to get in touch with her today? Does she do speaking engagements currently? Has she remarried and is now going under a new last name, I cannot seem to find her at all!
Thank you so much for your help. Her book is terrific, the best I have ever read on the topic…
