Overview

Pornography addiction is a pervasive problem—even in Christian circles—and many destructive misunderstandings surround it. If you want to help someone who has become a prisoner of this sin, you’ll need to know your enemy and the terrain on which you’ll be fighting.

What makes a woman’s encounter with pornography different from a man’s, and how do you counsel her? What guidance do you give a struggler who is currently dating—or married? How can you help a parent who has discovered that their young child has been exposed to porn? Rescue Plan draws on the research and experience of two biblical counselors, giving concrete information and helping you to shape an effective plan of attack for strugglers in these diverse circumstances.

Although it can stand alone, Rescue Plan pairs with Rescue Skills, also by Reju and Holmes, for maximum effectiveness. Together these two books show how to develop and execute a comprehensive plan for fighting pornography addiction in a wide range of situations.

Top Highlights

“Although porn struggles can be wearisome, discouraging, and defeating, those struggles are not the end of the conversation. Sin does not have the last word. Christ does. Jesus is the rescuer of our souls. That’s not just trite, hyper-spiritualized consolation—it’s true.” (Page 28)

“Much of your work involves cultivating the right desires and starving the wrong desires (see Rom. 13:14; 1 Peter 2:11).” (Page 37)

“As James shows us, a person is fully responsible for how he acts in the moment of temptation. If he chooses to rely on the promises of the Lord, then his temptation becomes an opportunity for him to have his faith strengthened and matured.⁹ If he chooses to run down the path laid out in James 1, his temptation becomes an opportunity for sin.” (Page 39)

“staying pure. As our affections for the Lord grow, our desires for what he wants rearrange what we want.” (Page 27)

“to see how sin destroys sex but how God redeems it” (Page 23)
