The author introduces the book by challenging the hypothetical attitude of people created by the shroud of shame when seen with a copy of this book; a tool which in the words of the author has been used devastatingly by the devil to wreck havoc on millions. He also introduces SEX as Satan’s biggest tool of bondage on earth today, weakening the moral fibre of the body of Christ through just about every available means. Hence, he then continues to fully outline the amount of damage already done by this renowned enemy and the impending repercussion of not addressing it.
Lust in his words can be defined as strong desire for that which is forbidden (p.17) and it stands a great tool for the enemy till date. To foster his plot the enemy has devised various loopholes normally referred to as thought patterns. These, the author seek to challenge and caution Christians against in the information provided in this book. This a wake-up call for every child of God to confront the spirits of looseness and lust.
Rather than sit around and wait, the author doesn’t stop at the problem recognition but he goes on to explain the way out! Glory to God! By the help of the Holy Spirit the author uses an amazing choice of words to reveal a pathway out to a place of total freedom! This I believe is the core of the book and if any Christian should live a victorious Christian life especially in the area of sexual sins no matter the variations (i.e fornications, pornography, lesbianism, homosexuality, masturbation, adultery, bestiality e.t.c) if they would diligently follow the principles laid out in this book to the latter. Purity is possible!
With its easy to read formation of writing and its obvious portability anyone can successfully source out the priceless principles within it. The book is primarily bible-based and it is well punctuated with passages, parables and verses from the Bible. It stands a tool towards great transformation in our time and a great resource material to have and to hold.
God bless!
