The hard-hitting companion workbook to the best-selling Every Young Man’s Battle.

Sexual temptation. It’s everywhere you look. On TV, in the movies, on the Internet. And sometimes it seems you can’t escape its clutches. But God wants His children to be sexually pure.

How?

Here’s powerful ammunition from two counselors on the front lines: Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker. It’s the companion to their challenging book Every Young Man’s Battle. And it’s all about how to guard your eyes and your mind - every moment of every day. How to handle the guilt God’s way. How to clean up your thought life. And how to develop a battle plan that really works - even in the sex-drenched culture you live in.

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 relationship, robs us of spirirtual 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 are ready for a practical, grace-centered plan for defeating lust and celebrating purity. I hope you’ll join me on a most promising journey.
