Sex is Not the Problem - Lust Is; Sexual Purity in a Lust-Saturated World

"I wrote this book for both men and women. Why? Because lust isn't a male problem. It's a human problem. Lust ruins our relationships, robs us of spiritual passion, and leaves us feeling hollow...

But the truth is that you and I don't have to stay on that treadmill of guilt and shame. God calls us to a high standard--not even a hint of sexual impurity. And He gives us everything we need to make it a reality. If you're ready for a practical, grace-centered plan for defeating lust and celebrating purity, I hope you'll join me on a most promising journey." -- author Joshua Harris

"This book is a practical call to personal holiness Josh deals boldly with the strongest attacks on young men and women today."
--Chris Tomlin, worship artist and song writer

"We cannot waste time playing hide-and-seek with lust and its consequences. Joshua Harris has earned our trust by talking straight and teaching from the Word of God. His wisdom on the true nature of lust will not only inform, but challenge every Christian."
--R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

"The main issue with lust is that it hinders us from seeing and savoring the glory of Christ. That hurts us and dishonors Him. So, for your joy and Christ's honor, I commend this book to you. It is realistic, practical, and hope-giving because of uncompromising grace. The pure in heart will see God. If you want that sight, let Josh Harris help you fight."
--John Piper, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

"The sin of sexual lust is a battle which is mostly private in the lives of men and women in the church. And finding help in this battle is not easy. But finally, a book has been written that should fine itself into the hands of all who wrestle with lustful thoughts - men and women, youth and adults. Joshua Harris' "Not Even a Hint" is the most biblical and appropriate treatment of this subject I have read. Harris' strategy is correct - the only hope for dealing with lust is rightly understanding and applying the truths of the gospel in our battle. Because victory in this struggle is so important, I even gave a copy to each person in my college ministry. This is one of the rare "must reads" of the year! --- Rick Holland, Pastor, College & Youth Ministries, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA
