In this world you're surrounded by sexual images that open the door to temptation. They're everywhere--on TV, billboards, magazines, music, the internet and so easy to access that it sometimes feels impossible to escape their clutches. Yet God expects his children to be sexually pure. So how can you survive the relentless battle against temptation? Here's powerful ammunition.Steve Arterburn and Fred Stoeker, the authors of the hard-hitting best-seller Every Man's Battle, now focus on the temptations young single Christian men like you face every day and they offer workable, biblical strategies for achieving sexual purity.The authors examine the standard of Ephesians 5:3--"there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality" in a positive and sensitive light. And they explain how an authentic, vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ is the key to victory over temptation. Every Young Man's Battle will show you how to train your eyes and your mind, how to clean up your thought life, and how to develop a realistic battle plan for remaining pure in today's sexually soaked culture. As a result, you'll experience hope--real hope for living a strong, pure life God's way.

"This book is amazing at addressing the unspoken struggle of some young men. I don't think they give enough credit though to the young men in an ability to understand the issue and dumb it down to a "just don't do it" attitude. Could have had some more meet to it."

" Ugh. Adding this book to my shelves almost makes it appear as if I had or have some sex addiction. The truth is that someone connected to my old church recommended it to me because of some nonsense about how every Christian teenage boy needs to learn about "sexual purity." "

— Austin, 2/19/2014" Every young man (and women) should read this before marriage. Even though I'm a woman, i found it very interesting, especially because it opens your eyes to the fights that teens and young men have during this period of their lifes. "
— Miha, 2/3/2014" excellent book on a difficult topic. lots of practical helpful advice. i didn't agree with everything they stated, but I enjoyed the women's section at the end of some of the chapters. "

— roland, 1/23/2014" Really helped me through struggles and temptations. Although I have heard negative things about it from other guys. I think it just depends. It can help some and then hinder some. "
— Josh, 1/18/2014" I've only read this book once and don't know if I'll read it again, but it was impactful, and a good read for guys that want to be future-good-husbands for their wives. "
— Curt, 1/17/2014" Was ok, but a it soft on some things it pretended to be tough on. Was encouraging, still. "
— Simon, 1/12/2014" Great book that cuts to the chase regarding the responsibility that every man should live by & the respect every man should show to women. "
— Nate, 1/6/2014" This book encouraged me greatly to live a life that is pure. I don't want to have even a hint of immoral sexuality. "
— Jesse, 1/3/2014" a little to much insight for me "
— Michelle, 12/29/2013" I think it helped give me some good advice on managing struggles with discerning love and lust. "
— Ben, 12/23/2013" I learned that we all battle against a coniving(sp.?) enemy in the devil, and we need to take every thought captive for God. Taking my thoughts captive means treating females with respect to honor God, even when females don't feel worthy of respect. "
— Andrew, 12/13/2013" I would recomend this to ANY guy who wants to stop being like any guy and learn how to start giving God, women and themselves the respect they deserve. This will help you clean your thought life and purify your vision for relationships "
— Jay, 8/29/2013" Practicle thoughts of how to stray from porn. However, I think hormones often play a bigger place in the picture rather than just will alone. "
— Galen, 8/24/2013" Well it was an eye opener which hopefully has some long term benefitial results. "
— Thomas, 7/28/2013" This book helped me with a lot of questions I had as a new Christian. "
— KC, 6/28/2013" Something about the book didn't work culturally for me - either the authors don't really know how to write to young men, or I'm not really a young man anymore. "
— Jonathan, 6/2/2013" the authors shared their experience on how to tacle the tendency that almost (if not all) every young man has about sex. at the end I must say "HE has made all things good in their time..." "
— Arthur, 4/26/2013" The book leaves more for the mid to visualize than any book that has to do with purity should. Read Pure Desire by Ted Roberts if you want to take your youth through a book. "
— Jacob, 11/15/2012" Good advice for young men. Some may think there is too much detail in the testimonies. I think they add to the credibility of the recommendations and can encourage those dealing with similar struggles. "
— Akhet, 11/15/2012" How to understand men better and be sensitive to their struggles. "
— Corie, 11/10/2012" I read this one in high school with my dad and my brother. If I remember correctly, it has a lot of good points and scriptures to really tackle the issue of purity. "
— Jonathan, 6/13/2012" I recommend this for any unmarried guy dedicated to sexual purity... "
