Beyond the Veil of Lust: Overcoming Obsessions with Pornography and Masturbation

Product Description

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Second Edition.

This book is about a veil—the veil of illusion that draws you into temptation, day after day.

Armed with the truth herein, you will be able to pray for the strength and courage to persevere through your trials into confident trust in divine protection. You will learn to seek out the true humility of confidence, not the false satisfaction of competing with others to make yourself feel strong and powerful. You will learn to admit your wretchedness and to seek the grace to love, and to pray for, everyone—even your enemies—despite the mistreatment you received as a child and continue to receive, even now, as an adult. Thus you will learn to seek the desire for holy love that will grow in you and overshadow every other desire. Do this and you will not only understand love, you will be living it.
