Publisher's summary

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 20 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 listeners 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.)

It gets to the heart, not just focus on behavior.

Michael, John, Cusick, I hits a home run. He tells his story with faithfulness in vulnerability, while allowing others to learn lessons, learned so painfully. He doesn’t just focus on changing behavior, he helps his readers to understand themselves, their heart, and the spiritual war that rages for their souls. Buy it, read it, understand yourself and others around you and other readers with compassion and be empowered to walk with Jesus in Victory.
