Lust tells you lies. The truth sets you free. I wrote this book for both men and women. Why? Because lust isn't a male problem. It's a human problem. Lust ruins our relationships, robs us of spiritual passion, and leaves us feeling hollow. But the truth is that you and I don't have to stay on that treadmill of guilt and shame. God calls us to a high standard -- not even a hint of sexual impurity. And he gives us everything we need to make it a reality. If you're ready for a practical, grace-centered plan for defeating lust and celebrating purity, I hope you'll join me on a most promising journey. - Back cover.
