A devotional for believers wrestling with pornography, lust, and other sexual sins. Each "thought" begins with a Bible text which is applied to sexual sin and how to overcome it. There are also many unique illustrations as every man's mind is a picture gallery. Sexual sin is a visual sin, so therefore the best way to combat it is with visual illustrations and personal stories which engage the reader. But above all, this devotional is Gospel-focused. Only Jesus can break these chains, sometimes gently with grace and other times he shatters the fetters with the words from His mouth. A balance of stern warnings and compassionate reminders of who the Son of God is.
