You long to be free but...

Pornography has reached epidemic proportions. And in God's eyes, porn is ugly. It devalues other human beings and the good gift of sex in favour of a destructive imitation.

Dr Tim Chester points us to something infinitely better, something that captivates without causing shame, remorse or embarrassment: the glory and beauty of Christ. We are made to be satisfied with God alone and told to avoid the sin that hinders our relationship with Him.

Tim exposes the lies and deceptions of porn, inviting us to be fully free, and showing positively and practically how this can be possible in daily life. We can be captured by a better vision.
