Rating:
Summary: You can overcome!!
Review: This book is good if your having a problem with Lust or want to learn how to stay away from Lust. I found this very helpful. I was battling spending and worried about a husband. I also had bad tv habits. This book really helped me deal with those things and overcome them. It wasn't just his writing alone, it was that he backed what he said up with the Word of God. Even if your not addicted to anything, it's a great resource to help you not lust after things, money, fame, people, etc.

Summary: Very helpful for married people too
Review: This book is great, my husband & I are reading it together. I feel that the author truly got inspiration from Gods word, it is realistic without being explicit, great reading for any Christian man or woman, I highly recomend this book, I first bought my husband Every mans battle, which at first I thought was good but this book really points you to God for guidance, it shows you how you can't beat lust on your own strength.

Review: This book is not just for the guys! Ladies, you too will be impacted by what Josh has to say. He's veeeery honest about his struggles, and offers practical, Biblical advice for guarding your heart against lust and preparing it for something much better--holiness! Wa-hoo! This book is a fast read that cuts through the ceremony and gets to the meat of the issue. And the cover's pretty, too!

Summary: The best book on lust I've ever read
Review: This is a powerful book on dealing with sexual temptation. Joshua Harris does a fantastic job of setting every man's battle in its proper biblical and theological context. He is not soft on sin, but neither does he lead one to discouragement or despair. He understands that a right relationship with God is by grace through faith alone, but he knows that the faith which justifies also sanctifies. He is candid and honest, yet remains discreet, writing a book which is appropriate for and targeted to both men and women. He avoids setting hard and fast rules, advocating that we develop "a custom-tailored plan" for fighting against lust, but he provides plenty of practical ideas about how to make progress. He addresses sensitive issues (like masturbation) as well as cultural issues (like media and dress). Best of all, he encourages open accountability ("lone rangers are dead rangers") and provides an excellent chapter on how to fight the lying promises of lust with the true and satisfying promises of God. Drawing on the wisdom of John Piper's Future Grace, and C. J. Mahaney's The Cross-centered Life, this is one of the best books on sanctification I've seen, and the best book on the particular subject of sexual temptation I've ever read. I highly recommend this to both men and women, single or married. Thanks, Josh for sharing your heart with us.
