You long to be free but ...
Pornography has reached epidemic proportions. And in God's eyes porn is ugly. 'Unbearably ugly,' says Tim Chester, 'but for the grace of God.'
In the New Testament Paul warns, 'Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them.' Tim Chester points the reader to something infinitely better, something that captivates without causing shame, remorse or embarrassment: the glory and beauty of Christ. We are made to be satisfied with God alone, and told to avoid the sin that hinders our relationship with him.
Tim exposes the lies and deceptions of porn, inviting us to be fully free, and showing positively and practically how this can be possible in daily life.
We can be captured by a better vision.

You long to be free, but you feel trapped and ashamed... This is the battle which many are facing. Pornography has reached epidemic proportions. And in God's eyes it's ugly. 'Unbearably ugly,' says Tim Chester, 'but for the grace of God.' In the New Testament Paul warns, 'Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them.' Tim Chester points the reader to something infinitely better, something that captivates without causing shame, remorse or embarrassment: the glory and beauty of Christ. We are made to be satisfied by God alone, and warned in no uncertain terms to avoid the sin that spoils our intimate and satisfying relationship with him. Tim skillfully and helpfully exposes the lies and deceptions of porn, inviting us to be fully free, and showing positively and practically how this can be possible in daily life. We can indeed be captured by a better vision and find perfect peace and freedom.
