Closing the Window: Steps to Living Porn Free

For MEN: Want to live a morally pure life? Then this book is for you. It is the best of the best in going deep on the matter of your heart and your love of God. Written by a great pastor, teacher, author from the UK, Tim Chester, who does not mince words and challenges you to a better life than one weighed down with moral impurity and feasting on pornography. I cannot commend this book enough. I have used it a guide for leading several men's group through this issue.

Have you ever gone to a Sunday church service and listening to a good Minister give his/her sermon and look at your watch and see that you have been sitting on those hard wooden seats for a hour. Next thing you know it is two hours and then three....No, I am not putting down this book at all but, I would read a little and not come back to it for awhile and then pick it back up and enjoy reading more. The book would go over and over the reasons why we sin with porn the way we do and steps to avoid it.Somebody that fails this subject and would accept some help would be a good read for them.It helped me.

This is overall a helpful and honest book; honoring to God's goal for purity. But I was pretty tired of it by around half way through, and forced myself to finish. By that point the message and testimonies seemed redundant, so I felt "I've read this before." I think the first four (of five) chapters could have been condensed to around half their length. The fifth chapter -- a positive perspective on the goodness of marriage -- was fresh and somewhat redeemed my experience with the book.Part of the reason the book seemed so flat and undistinguished from one part to the next was the poor "chapter" divisions in the Kindle edition: Each section of a chapter was coded as a chapter in itself. An additional Kindle formatting problem was that the endnotes all combined into one paragraph; going back one page refreshed the view so that each endnote then stood as an individual paragraph.

I wrote the book "The War Within, Gaining Victory in the Battle for Sexual Purity." Of the 70+ books that I have read on this topic, this book and Michael Cusick's book "Surfing For God" are the only two books that I confidently say are 'better than my book'. I whole heartedly recommend it. It goes to the heart of matter, highlighting the false premise or lies of porn, and the promises of God that counters these lies. He gives five overarching principles of breaking free from pornography. It is solid Biblically and founded on great theology. It is a MUST READBob Reehm

I would recommend this book to teens and adults, men and women, Christian or not. Even though it is written by a Christian author, and he does use many Bible references, if you are addicted to porn and would like to be set free, this book will help you to see your need for something bigger than yourself to set you free. And you might just find yourself falling in love with the God who made you.

This book is fantastic. It deals with the reality of the sin. It deals with the heart level struggles. It deals with the behaviors that need to change. Its not shallow, simplistic, or behavioralistic. If you want a book that will convict you, encourage you, and gives a gospel founded approach to dealing with these issues you will not be dissapointed.

Great book on the topic of porn. Useful in so many ways. I find it helpful as a father to teen boys and a youth pastor for getting ideas for how to talk with youth about the topic.

Very thorough. A great resource for those who want freedom. I love its emphasis not in moralism but the glory of God: the enjoyment of Him!

Too ĺong ago to remember

Amazing, very happy.

Everyone should read this book, people with pornography problem to come clean and people without pornography issues to understand a very common dependency.

Need to keep each other in prayer bros.
