When you work with guys who can sit in a room with five other guys and watch endless amounts of porn as if they were watching 24, then you know you don't have the average job. This is the case for guys serving in the military, especially in Afghanistan, Iraq, or out at sea.

In order for the average guy—who doesn't read Grudem's Systematic Theology—to pick up and read a book about Jesus, you need to punch him in his gut, metaphorically.

It was this mentality that led us here at Mars Hill Church to ship out 800 of Pastor Mark's books, including Porn Again Christian, to men serving in the military. The majority of these books are heading out to Jonah's, Abraham's, and Daniel's old stomping ground of Iraq. Others are going to aircraft carriers, guys who are stateside prepping for an upcoming deployment, and other US installations around the world.

Part of our mission with sending these books is not to have guys simply reading these as an end in themselves, but rather to get them into Scripture.

I wanted to thank those of you who are backing us and have decided to support these men with these books and the Vintage Jesus DVD curriculum. These tools will enable them to grow as the husbands, daddies, and warriors their Lord wants them to be. It will also help them speak into the lives of guys they are serving with who have a very twisted view of who Jesus Christ is and what it means to be a man.

What Troops are saying:

Matt, US Army Ranger in Iraq: “I grabbed Porn Again Christian and never put it down. I needed that book, and most of the guys I work with need it as well. I think there is a tendency in our desensitized culture to think certain images or magazines are just part of what it means to be a man today.”

Roger, US Army Chaplain: “The copies of Porn Again will be perfect for our soldiers. Porn Again is awesome because nobody talks about that stuff, at least not honestly (and frankly nobody talks about masturbation).”

John, US Navy: “I read Porn Again in its entirety right after I got it. I wish I’d have had it before our ship pulled into Hong Kong, but there will be many more port calls during this cruise where several thousand sailors could benefit from having that booklet’s content on their hearts and minds.”
