Victory over the flesh is within your grasp!  You love the Lord-so why can't you gain lasting victory over that one recurring sin?  You've prayed for help and tried everybody's 10-point plan, but you find yourself back on your knees, asking God to forgive you for doing the thing you said you'd never do again.

Are you going to live with this misery forever?  No! says Christian physician Clark Gerhart.  In this fascinating new perspective on our fallen human nature, Dr. Gerhart explains what lies behind strongholds and how sin uses the body's God-given systems to urge you to continue in these behaviors. He then shows how God's work of sanctification can lead you into victory and peace. No longer will you be a slave to the pressure that drives you to the old disobedience. No longer will the flesh keep you in wretched defeat. Once you are free of the sin that so easily entangles, you'll even be equipped to minister to those around you.

If you have ever longed to enjoy Christian freedom, this message will help you:

• Understand the surprising link between stubborn sin and your body's processes
• Discover the common root of every recurring sin and what to do about it
• Identify repeated patterns of behavior in your life as signs of control by the flesh
• Grasp how the flesh is behind current and biblical events
• Learn the simple process that brings God's cleansing power

This review is from: Say Goodbye To Stubborn Sin: A surgeon explains the phusiological factors that trigger it (Paperback)

While reading this book, I constantly found myself saying two thing: "So that is why I can't stop that sinful habbit" and "So that's how I can stop it". After reading many books on fighting sin, I was convinced that there was nothing more I could do than simply pray, read the Bible more, and strengthen my will power. But this book changed all that, beginning with a fascinating description of the physical factors in our thinking patterns. This openned up for me a huge window of understanding on biblical teachings on the flesh and how healthy thinking patterns can actually be re-established in a concrete way that harnesses the influence of our physical make-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly annointed message!, May 2, 2005

This review is from: Say Goodbye To Stubborn Sin: A surgeon explains the phusiological factors that trigger it (Paperback)

I thought my walk with Christ was pretty solid, until I read Dr. Gerhart's book. What an annointed message! The idea that we are responsible for our own actions seems like common sense, but our tendency to blame other causes, from peer pressure to Satan, often causes us to treat the symptoms of sin rather that rip out sin by its roots. Our fallen nature is the root, and, as Dr. Gerhart so succinctly puts it, our flesh is the physial manifestation of this root. By following Dr. Gerhart's methodology, I see my Christian faith reaching a whole new level. Thank you, Dr. Gerhart, for putting into words what I've known all along: It's me, and accepting that responsibility is the start to a whole new relationship with God.
