Description

Kill lust before it kills you.

Be done with half-measures. Be done with porn-free weeks counted as trophies. Be done with “accountability” groups full of men who still look at porn and comfort each other with “We’ll get through this, brother.”

That is a city without walls being sacked on schedule. You were made to take dominion. You were made to stab dragons in the heart.

Killing Lust is the book that will help every man (and woman) repent for this common and destructive sin: a clear-eyed theology of what lust is and why it must die, a practical plan for starving the flesh, and a positive vision of Christian manhood—lord, savior, sage, husbandman, glory-bearer.

The lizard on your shoulder is a liar, and he is loud, but he is not God. Kill him. It’s good to do hard things, and you can, because God says you can.

I'm pretty sure the book content is great but the top of the book pages are frayed and stuck together and has led to the book pages tearing.

Very helpful book. Well written, straight to the point, and potent. Exactly what the reader needs to hear and do in order to slaughter lust.

Fantastic book! Love the direct approach to the idea of killing this particular sin. Even though the strategy can be applied to all sin. “Be killing sin or sin will be killing you”.

Really helpful thoughts in this book. This is a rare example of willingness to treat sin as it should be treated biblically.

Absolutely SUBERB! As a pastor I have already been using this in Biblical counseling with a couple young men and it's been super helpful. These young men are finally getting it! The perfect resource to give hope of victory once and for all over this pernicious sin.

Fantastic book, it truly shows the grotesqueness of sexual immorality. While also bringing hope to killing the sin. This book helped me personally kill Lust. Chapter 2 brought me to tears in disgust of what I was guilty of, quickly followed by the hope of how to kill the sin in chapter 3. Expertly written and rooted in scripture. Every man should read this.

Phenomenal read for anyone with any sin they are struggling to kill, or anyone who has influence over young men. The godly encouragement is simple, direct, and effective, and the necessity of putting on virtue while putting off vice is made tangible through excellent example and challenges.

The book was incredibly practical and thoroughly biblical. I will say that I was surprised at the extent of details in the chapter on husband-and-wife relations, but I also appreciate a book that gives highly applicable advice. My church is considering using this book in our counseling ministry! I personally think that every husband should read the book and benefit from the knowledge and wisdom that Ben offers throughout it. 10/10

Excellent gospel based book on attacking and killing lust. I have read many books on this topic and this is one of the few that starts from the Gospel and word of God as the starting point and not with popular psychology.

It calls sin what it is. Refreshing and very effective.

Very good work here by Ben Garrett. This is a good distillation of many other works on lust and pornography, infused with a healthy dose of cutting-edge recovery of Christian masculinity. Well worth the read for a man struggling with lust or someone who loves someone who struggles with lust.

Not only was it a great book with a great view on the fight against Lust, but also has some really good points on covenant succession and family worship. If I could I'd give it 11 out of 5 stars.

This is a no nonsense approach to killing lust. Ben does a great job of providing in depth theology on the sin as well as providing practical steps for killing the sin. This book can be applied to men, women, Single, and married. From a fellow Ben, good job Ben Garret.

I'm most of the way through it and it is very helpful. Your book touches on things I've never heard elsewhere, such as the existence of a false repentance. Two weeks since buying the book and I see the fruit already!
