Story
During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940s, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit of God. He wrote all night, and when the train arrived at his destination, the rough draft was done. The depth of this book has made it an enduring favorite.

Good content! Great listening experience! The voice was animated enough to hold interest.
Content-wise, it's really an introduction to the topic. So I think it passes for its aim.

Story
For 300 years, The Pilgrim's Progress has remained perhaps the best-loved and most read of devotional fictions. In plain yet powerful and moving language, Bunyan tells the story of Christian's struggle to attain salvation and the Gates of Heaven. He must pass through the Slough of Despond, ward off the temptations of Vanity Fair, and fight the monstrous Apollyon. In Part II, his wife and children follow the same path, helped and protected by Great-heart, until for them, too, "the trumpets sound on the other side."

Anyone who knows Pilgrim's Progress will not contend that it is gold.
Presentation is the distinction. And with that, this one did well :)

Story
What do you do when you disagree with other Christians? How do you determine which convictions are negotiable and which are not? How do you get along with people who have different personal standards? All of these questions have to do with the conscience. Yet there is hardly a more neglected topic among Christians.

Appropriately broad
Reviewed: 03-24-22
It wasn't hard to listen through the whole thing. Narration was good. As for the content, it was broad enough to be beneficial to all audiences but specific enough to be applicable.

I read this after James Clear's "Atomic Habits". If James Clear focuses more on the processes, Judson Brewer focuses on the cognitive processes involved. Clear focuses is a great read on systems while Brewer is a great read on mindfulness. In a nutshell, here are the key ideas:
1. We have cravings
2. We have to acknowledge our cravings
3. We can prevent cravings from controlling by:
- identifying triggers
- establishing one's identity
- enduring the craving with the aid of meditation

Story
Pornography may seem inescapable, but God can free us from its destructive power. The gospel replaces the dehumanizing lies of pornography with this surprising truth: God created us as royalty. How then can we reclaim our God-given identity to take a stand against - and ultimately starve - the predatory porn industry? In The Death of Porn, Ray Ortlund writes six personal letters, as from a father to his son.

It's not a step-by-step type. But it dives into identity, destiny, and one's capacity. Telling people what to do is one thing. Telling people they were made to be holy and pure is another.
