Worth of a Soul

Steven and Laurel Cramer share their harrowing yet hopeful account of how childhood sexual abuse led to decades of addiction to pornography and masturbation, culminating in adultery and excommunication. With unflinching honesty, they describe the buffetings of Satan, the strain on their marriage and children, and the depression years that followed. Ultimately, they testify that only Jesus Christ's grace could change a fallen nature—not willpower alone—and that no soul is beyond His reach and rescue.

• A former bishop's unflinching confession of the addiction that led to his excommunication—and the miraculous rescue that followed
• Both husband AND wife tell their side: a rare dual-perspective on how addiction devastates and heals a marriage
• Timeless hope for anyone who has tried willpower and failed: why only Christ can change a fallen nature
• A frank, non-sugarcoated look at the 'buffetings of Satan' and life after Church discipline

“By the time I was fully rescued, I knew that absolutely everyone who will respond to the Atonement is within the reach of Christ's perfect, unconditional, and unwavering love.”

Perfect for an LDS adult (or their spouse) privately struggling with pornography or sexual addiction, or someone facing/recovering from Church disciplinary action, seeking hope that Christ can heal what willpower cannot.
