Publisher's Description
Eight gospel-centered strategies for overcoming the lure of pornography and finally breaking free. This book is not about pornography. You won't find graphic depictions about the porn industry, the catastrophic effects it has on individuals and relationships, or how to think differently about porn. If you're reading this book, you probably have some understanding of those things already—the last thing you need is to be subjected to that kind of detail...again. Finally Free is about hope. It's about discovering the freeing power available to those who trust in Jesus Christ, who can, will, and does set people free from the power of pornography. Dr. Heath Lambert, a leader in the biblical counseling movement, has organized this book around eight clear and practical tactics you can wield to make it easier to flee lust and temptation and shelter in the protection of God's grace. Each chapter: Clearly demonstrates how the gospel applies to the fight against sexual temptation. Lays out relevant methods for leaning on Christ's strength—both in advance of and in moments of temptation. Explains how Jesus can move readers from a life of struggle to a life of purity. If you've struggled personally against the powerful draw of pornography, or if you've ever tried to help someone fighting this battle, you know how hard it is to break its bonds. But there is good news: no matter how intense or long-standing the struggle, Jesus Christ has the power to free people from the enslaving power of pornography. The Gospel has a power that works practically in the lives of those who seek to imitate Christ—and you can learn how to live into that power.

“Finally Free is not the typical man-centered self-help book that offers the reader shallow teachings and a hopeless future. Instead, Heath Lambert systematically builds his case for freedom on the tried-and-true solutions provided by God’s Word. From the opening pages until the final chapter, he persistently points the reader to Jesus Christ as the person’s Deliverer and Solution. I highly recommend this book.”
“Heath Lambert writes from his heart of love for God and love for others. The Scriptures he includes are alive and powerful. His applications are insightful and practical. Finally Free is exceptionally well written and clear. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with pornography. There is truly hope, grace, and mercy to be finally free.”
“Finally, a book to help people struggling with pornography that isn’t focused on pornography! What we need is forgiving, empowering, and transforming grace, which Heath Lambert invites strugglers to experience by embracing Christ and following him in these grace-empowered biblical strategies.”
“Heath Lambert has biblically and practically addressed two devastating problems: pornography and our ineffective response to it within the church. His wise counsel is biblical because it begins and ends with God’s grace, and it is practical because it provides clear direction on how to receive and grow in that grace. Finally Free is not just for individuals struggling with porn; it is for everyone seeking to follow Jesus and lead others to him in the twenty-first century.”
“Finally Free offers gospel wisdom that will rush over the sin of lust like a mighty wave. Easy to read, presented in a winsome pastoral spirit, it balances grace and effort with expert precision. The theological message presented in these pages will not only overcome even the strongest pornography addiction; it will also seep into our entire spiritual life, renewing and invigorating us, turning victims into conquerors and captives into liberators.”
“I’ve read just about every Christian book on the topic of pornography. Finally Free is now the number-one book I’ll recommend to pastors, counselors, strugglers, and those who love them.”
“Countless people have fallen prey to the easy access of online pornography—even Christians. Heath Lambert speaks a prophetic word into this crisis and offers a gospel way out of addiction to pornography. I cannot think of a more timely or relevant book. It is for anyone who wants to know how to be finally free from this pervasive and deadly sin.”
“More than an exposé of the insidious power of pornography, Finally Free is a declaration of the amazing grace that frees us from this power. Heath Lambert offers a biblical, practical guide to the process God uses to bring about this freedom in our lives, all the while reminding us that grace is at the center of every strategy in the process.”
“Finally Free provides biblical and wise discussions that offer specific, practical steps toward liberation from the clutches of pornography. Ultimately, the gospel of Jesus Christ is what sets us free here, as it does in every area, and Health Lambert lays out the joyous pathway to experience the gospel’s true and lasting freedom.”
