Summary

In Dr. Arthur Porter's inspiring and powerful book, The Slavery of Christian Freedom, you'll learn that even though liberty in Christ is readily available, many Christians seem to return to slavery to sin. But through Dr. Porter's incredible message, your eyes will be opened and your faith in Christ will be strengthened as you discover the keys to overcoming societal conformity and pressure. Dr. Porter's sage advice will help you realize that when you turn your back on the world and your face toward Christ, all distress and anguish becomes bearable. When you learn to accept your freedom and release yourself from sin, you can shout with believers everywhere, 'Slaves at first, but free at last.'
