The Invisible Shackles of Digital Desire
Imagine a world where the most intimate human experiences have been packaged, commodified, and sold back to us as pixels on a screen. This is the reality Raymond Ortlund confronts in "The Death of Porn" - not with finger-wagging condemnation, but with a profound vision of human dignity. Unlike most anti-porn resources that focus on behavior modification or shame tactics, Ortlund speaks to something deeper: our royal identity. This isn't merely about avoiding certain images-it's about reclaiming our fundamental humanity in a world that has commodified it. The book has sparked underground movements across college campuses nationwide, with men gathering weekly to discuss their struggles and victories. Why? Because it offers something rare: a path to freedom that honors both our brokenness and our inherent worth.
