Synopsis

Pornography, masturbation, adultery, and homosexual acts have all skyrocketed thanks to easy Internet access and an abundance of porn sites and streaming services. Whether you are an individual suffering from sexual addiction or a pastor, counselor, or loved one seeking to help such an individual, this book is for you.

Fr. T. G. Morrow provides solid counsel for effectively overcoming sexual temptations, especially addictions. While written from a spiritual point of view, this book reflects the most advanced thinking in contemporary cognitive therapy approaches. Throughout these insightful pages, you will learn how to remain strong and not fall prey to the effects of the "sexual revolution" in your daily life.

As Fr. Morrow unpacks research, Church teachings, and real-life stories, you will find:

• Strategies to train your mind in overcoming impure thoughts and desires
• Ways to avoid love addiction and broken relationships
• Six Chastity Principles to recall to sublimate resentment and find peace
• How remaining open to life in marriage strengthens your relationship
• How to cultivate healthy, fun activities to stimulate your mind
• The one essential commitment to receive the fruit of chastity

Also included are resources for those struggling with chastity, regardless of their vocation; testimonies of those who have overcome various sexual addictions; and tips for a healthy and holy courtship.

Above all, you will see how women and men who are striving to live chaste lives by moving from pleasure-seeking to the happiness of loving self-gift are transforming themselves and the wider culture. As you read this book and grow in knowledge of God's great love for you and the reasons for your belief, you too will be transformed for greater glory. And you will see how, by embracing God's plan for love and life, you will find authentic and lasting joy.
