You Can Be Sexually Pure

When it comes to sex and sexuality, men often find themselves in a losing battle against temptation. Whether it’s overt pornography or simply oversexualized images of women, media can be a man’s worst enemy.

This straightforward book helps men understand and embrace the true purpose and role of sex in their lives. Whether single or married, all men must cope with sexual temptation--sometimes on a daily basis. This honest treatment of an uncomfortable issue will free you to experience forgiveness and renewal.

“Craig and Steven are pathfinders, and if you will follow them, you will find the real life of a man. I hope you will jump in with both feet and start walking. And when you are tempted to stop, I pray you will stay the course.”--from the foreword by Stephen Arterburn, coauthor of Every Man’s Battle

"When it comes to porn addiction, Craig Gross and Steven Luff know what they're talking about. They respect the power of this tyrannical beast and--better yet--they understand how to defeat it. You'll find no naive Sunday school bromides here. Pure Eyes contains practical advice for the Christian guy who is serious about reclaiming his sexual integrity."--Nate Larkin, founder of the Samson Society; author of Samson and the Pirate Monks: Calling Men to Authentic Friendship

"Sex is a gift from God. When this gift is misused, it's either enslaving or heartbreaking--often it's both. As a pastor I've seen many people struggle with the destructive results of an addiction to pornography. Craig Gross and Steven Luff have written a book, Pure Eyes, that provides hope, acceptance, clarity, strength, and freedom on the road to wholeness. Every Christian leader--wait, every Christian--wait, every person--needs to read this extremely honest and valuable resource." --Pastor Philip Wagner, Oasis Church, Los Angeles, CA

"In my line of work (hip-hop), the overly sexualized culture lends itself to anything but purity; it's a world that prides itself on misogyny and sexual exploitation. I've been honored to stand beside XXXchurch.com and see the practical and real answers that they provide. It's my pleasure to introduce and endorse what they are doing with this book. I can't tell you how many emails and letters I've been able to forward to them knowing that those struggling with this can find real help for this issue. I know that this book will be able to provide the same kind of practical help that they stand for."--Jonah Sorrentino (KJ-52), hip-hop artist
