Clean of Heart: Overcoming Habitual Sins against Purity [Paperback]

Rosemarie Scott (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 18, 2006

Clean of Heart is written for practicing Catholics who accept all the teachings of the Church, yet are still ensnared by pornography and self-abuse. There is hope! Through the Sacraments, God provides all the grace one needs to become pure. No matter how long one has indulged in pornography or how deep one has sunk into the mire of vice, Our Lord can still break the addiction! What makes Clean of Heart different? First, it is written from a Catholic point-of-view. While Evangelical Christians have many books and programs for pornography addicts, there are few titles on the market for Catholics. Clean of Heart consists of forty-three daily meditations which draw from the power of the Sacraments and the wisdom of the Saints (elements lacking in many Evangelical books). Second, Clean of Heart is a surprisingly chaste book. It contains no obscenities or explicit testimonies" which may be an occasion of sin for some. The focus is on attaining a clean heart rather than recalling past sins.

If you fight impurity, this book is the answer to your prayers. Buy it, use it, and keep using it no matter what, for weeks or even years, until Satan loses his grip on you. Persist and let God cleanse you! It WILL work for you as it has done for me.

This review is from: Clean of Heart: Overcoming Habitual Sins against Purity (Paperback)

Sins against purity are very common, and when committed with knowledge and full consent of the will, they are mortal sins. Perhaps no other type of sin threatens a person's eternal salvation more than sins against purity and yet we live in a culture that virtually celebrates sexual sin! For those who choose to live chastely and who struggle with sexual temptation, habitual sins of the flesh, or who are tormented by years of failure in this area, this book is for you! The author has an amazing depth of knowledge into the causes and the cure for sexual sin. Her insights are drawn from the most authoritative sources, i.e., Sacred Scripture, the tradition of the Church, the Fathers, Doctors and experience of the saints, etc. The methods she proposes work because they dispose us to divine grace and strike at the roots of lust. If you put what she proposes into practice, you will experience interior freedom and the working of God's grace in your soul. Freedom from lust will also help you acquire greater self-control in other areas, since all the seven deadly sins are related. If you struggle with lust, you may also struggle with anger, greed and/or gluttony, etc. This book will help you to overcome all these sins too. I highly recommend this book!
