About this product

Product Information

Lust isn't just a guy problem - it's a human problem. And unless we honestly confront it, lust will destroy our relationships and our lives. Joshua Harris, author of the runaway bestseller I Kissed Dating Goodbye, calls a generation bombarded with images of sexual sin back to the freedom and joy of holiness. This "PG-rated" book - straightforward without being graphic - speaks to those entrenched in lust or just flirting with temptation. Honestly sharing his own struggles, Harris exposes lust's tactics and helps readers create a personal plan for fighting back. Men and women will find hope in God's grace and learn the secrets to lasting change.

Must read on sexual purity
I would highly recommend this book to high school age and up. Joshua Harris, has written this with his own personal experience and will grab every readers attention. Every reader, I could almost guarantee will be able to relate very well, especially with this day and age of openly expressed sexuality in many aspects of everyday living. After completion of the book, I immediately recommended to my core group of friends and having my children reading it as well. Must read!

Great Book for Those Struggling With Lust
Armed with scriptural principles, personal testimonies, and life experience, Joshua Harris assaults the doors of sexual hedonism by exposing its lies and contrasting them with the ultimate pleasure. In a very simple way, Harris shows that the joy of the Lord is greater than the counterfeit pleasure which accompanies illicit sexual practice. Whether your sin is masturbation, pornography, homosexuality, or simply deviant emotional or visual fantasies- the problem is not sexual in nature. It is theological. Joshua shows that the legalistic standards and man-centered strategies will never work in combating the problem because it is not a problem of behaviour, but rather of belief. We can't save ourselves and we can't change ourselves. Only faith in Christ can rescue us from the prison of our sin. And only the Spirit can transform us. Our job is to invite His work, participate with it, and submit more and more of our thoughts, actions, and desires to Him. Sounds simple right? Well, not exactly. Following Christ requires that we give up all our earthly ties in favour of Him. Some Christians never acknowledge that this is indeed the case, and others acknowledge it to the point they fall prey to legalism. In reality, this is half of the sanctification process. The other half is receiving the rewards, both earthly and heavenly, which Christ has for those who follow Him. Practically speaking, desire cannot be fought with non-desire. It must be fought with a stronger desire. The satisfaction that comes with knowing and walking with Christ, i.e. delighting yourself in the Lord, is the only path to victory. Some Christians see sex as the problem, but in reality it isn't- lust is. Sex is to be fully enjoyed within God's parameters, not as a selfish craving but as worship to God himself. Everything must ultimately be seen through this lens in order for joy to take root. Those who deny this are truly missing out on earthly satisfaction and potentially on eternal life itself. How do you view sex? Do you find yourself frustrated over the failure to live up to God's standards in this area? Are you guilty of misconduct for the right reasons? Do you substitute romantic fiction or titillating images for real relationships? What is your motive in pursuing lust? This book is made for you and 99% of all college students out there. It's a short light read, so there's really no reason not to pick up a copy. It could mean the difference between coping and conquering.Read full review

The Solution is found in the Power of the Gospel.
The reason sin is such a struggle is because we love our sin. The only solution to overcome that is a GREATER LOVE. That’s where the cross comes in - for God so loved the world that He gave His only Son Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but will have eternal life. Repent of your sin and believe the Good need of Jesus Christ. His work is finished.

Excellent resource at a bargain price!
This is an excellent book for all men who want to pursue and maintain a life of Biblical purity. Specific, without being sensual, it deals with a major issue all men face. Recognizing that God gave us a wonderful gift in our sexuality, Harris shows how we can use the gift of God's grace to channel sexual desire to positive purposes for His glory. No matter what age you are, this book will be a valuable addition to your arsenal in winning the battle against lust.

A good read
This is a book that most people need to read. In a world where Sexual lust is rampant this book is a must. The author does a good job of explaining lust. That we take something that God gave us and use it in a wrong way.
