Member Testimonials

• "Better than a filter? You bet! This is the best
  system I've seen by a long shot. When you know
  that your accountability partner is going to see
  where you've been surfing, it has a way of
  sucking the life out of temptation. And, it's
  amazing how this service has positively affected
  other areas of my life too. Thanks, Covenant
  Eyes, for this very needed service."
