Many people in the church silently struggle with sexual sin. They want to be free from their sexual urges, but it seems that no matter what they try or do, they're not able to overcome their lustful appetite. Without peace or hope, they spend their lives in the shadows of fear, shame, and guilt. I've lived in some form of sexual sin for almost my entire life. From viewing pornographic magazines and videos to having multiple relationships with women at the same time, I continually fed my sexual appetite. However, God told me several years ago that I didn't have to sin [sexually]. At first, I didn't understand how that was possible, but over the years, He's given me practical and preventive measures to not only turn from sexual temptation and sin, but to enjoy the freedom of sexual purity. Living Out of Lust was written to share my testimony of how God led me toward sexual purity. Through these few pages, I'll share my journey, struggles, and God's principles for sexual purity. Though sexual sin can leave you feeling morally, physically, and spiritually bankrupt, you can find freedom in the wisdom and teaching of God. He can help you weather through the storms of sexual temptation and put them in their proper place—behind you. You don't have to be a slave to sexual sin! You don't have to sin!

Praise for Sex Is Not the Problem (Lust Is) “For your joy and Christ’s honor, I commend this book to you. It is realistic, practical, and hope-giving.” -John Piper, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis “A beautiful blend of grace and truth. Joshua Harris raises high standards of holiness while carefully avoiding legalism. I highly recommend it.” -Randy Alcorn , bestselling author of The Treasure Principle and The Purity Principle “I am very encouraged that my longtime friend Josh Harris has written a book about lust. May God use this book to keep many from allowing their minds to become ‘the devil’s playground.’” -Rebecca St. James, singer/songwriter Story Behind the Book “I was preparing a message on lust when I realized that the book I wanted to consult hadn’t been written. That book would make it clear that only Jesus Christ can free us from the hopeless treadmill of shame and guilt that so many well-intentioned people end up on. It would instill a love for holiness and a hatred for sin without dragging the reader’s imagination through the gutter. And it would be for both men and women, because I’ve learned that lust isn’t just a guy problem–it’ s a human problem.” –Joshua Harris
