Publisher Description

Discover how the barrier built by porn addiction can become a bridge to abundant life.

What if lust for porn is really a search for true passion?

In a world where there are 68 million searches for pornography every day and where over 70 percent of Christian men report viewing porn in the last year, it's no surprise that more and more men struggle with an addiction to this false fantasy. Common wisdom says if they just had more willpower or more faith, their fight would be over. Is the answer really that simple?

According to the counselor and ministry leader Michael John Cusick, the answer is no—but the big truth may be much more freeing. Backed by scripture, Cusick uses examples from his own life and from his twenty years of counseling experience to show us how the pursuit of empty pleasure is really a search for our heart's deepest desire—and the real key to to resistance is discovering and embracing the joy we truly want.

Cusick's insights help readers understand

  • How porn struggles begin
  • What to do to prevent those struggles
  • How to overcome the compulsion once it begins

"Every man who knocks on the door of a brothel is knocking for God." – G. K.

"An important book, a book that is a keeper. I will be keeping this book as a resource in my continual battle against the ill designed things. I am thankful for this book and would recommend it to other men struggling with addictions; especially addictions of pornographic-natures."

    " Amazing! Everyone should read this book! If you don't have to deal with this in your immediate family, you most likely have somebody in your life that is dealing with it (friend, cousin, brother, neighbor, etc...). Males and females should BOTH read this book! Powerful! "

    " This book was very disappointing. In a few ways it was good at diagnosing the problem, but woefully inadequate in proposing the solution. "

    " It's a little preachy on the spiritual side, but he does cover multiple sides of the issue. All too often they're try to say that its all a mind game when the truth is that it does have a physical impact on you. Overall, not too bad a book. "

    " Not the first book I've read on the subject, but a good one. The end of the book was the most interesting and thought-provoking for me, so it's worth it to make it to the last couple of chapters. "

    " I was able to read the advanced copy of this book since my boss is the author. I think it will change lives....I'm excited to see the outcome, and I'm very proud of Michael for making this happen and being vulnerable every day to share his story to help other people. "
