Joshua Harris, author of the runaway bestseller I Kissed Dating Goodbye, calls a generation bombarded with images of sexual sin back to the freedom and joy of holiness. This "PG-rated" book – straightforward without being graphic – speaks to those entrenched in lust or just flirting with temptation. Honestly sharing his own struggles, Harris exposes lust's tactics and helps readers create a personal plan for fighting back. Men and women will find hope in God's grace and learn the secrets to lasting change. Neither sex nor sexuality is our enemy. We need to rescue our sexuality from lust so we can experience it as God intended. Bestselling author Joshua Harris shows you how lust deceives you. Specific and honest without being graphic, this book–for both men and women–will guide you in creating a custom plan for fighting lust and celebrating purity. 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

Download or read book Antichrist Superstar written by Timothy H. Sexton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trouble all started when that Yankee playwright Anton O’Masia came into town. He hooked up with old Duke Forberry in Forberry’s latest attempt to turn rust into gold. Duke had bought the old Ritz Theatre and planned to open up competition against the Fountain of Youth Theatre, you see. Well, that Yankee writer wrote this musical called “Antichrist, Superstar!” and Forberry put it on. You can just imagine how a play with that title went over down here in the South. It didn’t take long for Rev. Matthew Schaffner to get some protestors picketing up and down in front of the theatre. They were led by that John Elway lookalike Tony Truwiss. Like Anton said, that boy could eat corn off the cob through a football facemask. Tony sure did know how to put on a protest, though. He had Schaffner’s older daughter Beth with him and that pretty little Erica Withershins, too. She’s actually the one who got everything started by going to Rev. Schaffner and telling him about the play in the first place. A lot of people figured she did it to get even with her ex-best friend Callie Pygusse, who was the star of the play. (Not to mention sleeping with her director, Anton). Considering how much things got out of hand and we started making the national news, it’s actually a surprisingly funny story. When I got the idea to make a book out of it, it was already the most exciting thing to happen to our little town in years. And that was well before Callie took off her clothes onstage and Beth’s sister Mary revealed Pastor Schaffner’s big secret and we all found out the shocking truth about Erica.
