I’ve blogged previously about resources in overcoming pornography. Here’s another great program that I think has merit.
Surveys show at least 70% of men and 21% of women struggle with online pornography. Covenant Eyes is a Christian-based program to help your family stay clear of pornography. The strength of the program is that it combines filtering with a system of accountability.
“I have made a covenant with my eyes.” Job 31:1
Covenant Eyes Accountability Software
Integrity is who you are and what you do when you are alone.
Escape the temptation by removing the secrecy of the Internet. Accountability software develops integrity by monitoring and reporting all Web activity to an Accountability Partner of your choice. The reports score Web sites to easily identify mature Web addresses, searches, and links.
I think the strength of Covenant Eyes is its accountability system. You identify an Accountability Partner–someone to whom you give permission to help you stand strong. It’s someone you trust because they genuinely care for you. Because the allure of temptation is strongest when no one is looking, an Accountability Partner helps defeat temptation’s pull by looking over your shoulder when you’re on the Internet.
Covenant Eyes Filtering
Their full-featured filter may be used with the accountability service or by itself. You can choose which services are used by each person in your family: accountability, filtering, or both.
I’ve studied several programs, and for $7.95 a month, I think this is one of the strongest. If you decide you want to try Covenant Eyes, you can use the promocode saints to receive the first 30 days free.

Larry, where did you get the statistics about how many people struggle with online porn? Seventy percent is frightening! Can that be true?
Thanks for the link. You know, Covenant Eyes also has some free educational resources you might find helpful.
