Alma the Younger did more than waste away his youth.
An angel helped him to face this long avoided truth
He had made life hard for members of the church...
But, now rebuked, the guilt felt began to churn
With anguish of soul, none would want to know of
For three bitter days he lay in death's deep coma
Confronting every sin was extremely hard to bear
This was truly an answer to his father's constant prayer
Then as one rescued from the darkest abyss
Alma was awakened to a life of promise
Becoming an example of change, light, and hope-
(One does not have to stay alone, in the dark, to grope)
As to Christ, Alma repented and cried deeply in his heart
He found mercy and deliverance – and a new path to start
Spending the remainder of his many blessed days
Preaching and teaching others how to change their ways
Thank you Phil- author of:

In this Book, author, Philip A. Harrison relates
his journey out of addiction to pornography into
recovery and freedom. He explains: "like Paul and
Alma the Younger, who also spent a portion of their life
in serious darkness and were delivered from it by

example of someone the Lord has rescued from
'the darkest abyss.'"

Phil leads us through the process of coming unto Christ
and having our burdens lifted. For those who have
