Finally Free: Fighting
for Purity with the Power of Grace
By: Heath Lambert
This book is not about
pornography (p. 11). This book is about something much better than pornography.
This book is about the amazing power of Jesus Christ to free you from
pornography (p. 12). By now, you know that this is not the book Finally
Alive written by John Piper.
When it comes to
“confess[ing] your sins to each other …”, I believe it is safe to say we will
confess almost every sin, but when it comes to our “addiction to pornography”,
this will be a hard one for us to confess to others because we deem it as a
very shameful thing to do (James 5:16).
Perhaps you might be
struggling with pornography and don’t know how to fight it. You keep on telling
yourself, “This will be the last time.” and you keep on coming to the throne of
grace to ask for forgiveness and might even think that you are not a true
Christian because you are committing the same sin over and over again (habitual
sin).
Be of good cheer and
let Heath Lambert take you through this book with just 9 chapters in the “Fight
against Pornography” (of course, this is not the final answer to your struggle
with pornography). With the Conclusion chapter “A Call to Holiness and Hope”, I
encourage you to let Heath take you through this book because he himself was
introduced to pornography when he was an “eight-year-old boy … [by his] creepy
uncle [who] was completely enslaved to porn” (p. 156). I will let him finish it
up for himself in this book.
