  1. 1. The Porn Myth

    Exposing the Reality Behind the Fantasy of Pornography

    A research-driven critique of pornography that challenges popular myths by synthesizing findings from neuroscience, psychology, and sociology to highlight addiction-like patterns, unrealistic expectations, and harm to relationships and well-being. Drawing on studies and personal testimonies, it examines issues like escalation, desensitization, and the industry’s ethical concerns, arguing that consumption negatively impacts consumers, partners, and performers. It closes with practical strategies and resources for reducing or quitting use and cultivating healthier intimacy and sexual habits.

  2. 2. You Can Understand Aquinas

    A concise, accessible introduction to the life and thought of Thomas Aquinas that explains his intellectual method, the Five Ways for arguing God’s existence, the distinction between essence and existence, analogy of being, and his natural-law account of ethics and the virtues; it shows how Aquinas synthesizes Aristotelian philosophy with Christian theology, clarifies the relationship between faith and reason, and points to the continuing relevance of his ideas for apologetics and contemporary moral questions, all in plain language aimed at general readers.
