#19 - Forged: 33 Days Toward Freedom (english-version)

In this podcast episode, Johanna from our team talks to Jason
Evert about the book "Forged – 33 Days Towards Freedom", which he
wrote together with Matt Fradd. The American bestseller was
translated by Johanna and has now also been published in German.
In this interview, Evert talks about what moved him to write this
book, his own experiences and the deep desire for freedom and
acceptance of every human being.


 


Content of the book:


DEFEND LOVE FROM LUST.


Good men don’t need more reasons why it’s wrong to use women
online, in their imagination, or in reality. What they need are
effective strategies to win daily battles and to obtain lasting
freedom and victory in the war against lust. 'Forged' is a 33-day
exercise designed to purify, heal, and strengthen a man,
gradually replacing old vices with new virtues. Each day offers a
unique weapon that belongs in every man’s arsenal against the
world, the flesh, and the devil. After completing the 33 days, a
man will be well equipped for the battles ahead.


You can also watch a free 3-minute video each day from more than
30 presenters, including Fr. Mike Schmitz. Fr. Jacques Philipe,
Sister Miriam James, Jeff Cavins, Christopher West, and others.


 


The book has been published by Be&Be-Verlag and is for

33 Tage in Richtung Freiheit - Klosterladen Heiligenkreuz
