A must read on this topic

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2013

This book was as real and honest as I think one could be without crossing over into dangerous territory. I can't stand it when authors / pastors / teachers are avantgarde to try to be cool or edgy. I sensed none of that here.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, Chester skillfully guides the reader to the root of the problem, providing a nuanced and accurate application of the only solution: the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This work is a great addition to the issue of this generation.

Best book i've read on porn addiction.

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2013

Tim Chester is a fantastic author. He is also a pastor but I don't know very much about his ministry in the UK. He's very easy to read and very clear with what he wants to communicate in a book. This book is all about pornography and how christians can and should overcome their addiction to it. He's very gracious and the language he uses when talking about pornography isn't overly graphic. He offers a lot of practical advice and the book also bears a lot of testimonies of other people who have overcome their addiction to pornography which is always very encouraging to read. It has been more helpful to me than any other book I have read about this subject.

Incredibly helpful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2010

This is an incredibly helpful book addressing a vital issue facing the 21st Century church: the need for radical holiness in the area of pornography. In many ways, the underlying principles behind this book are those laid out more fully in Tim Chester's other book " You can change: God's Transforming Power for Our Sinful Behaviour and Negative Emotions ", but even if you've read that this book is a must read for those who struggle in this area, or who are supporting those who do. The first two chapters of "Captured" are worth the cover price on their own:
* The first chapter sets out the importance of this issue and how destructive it is, as well as all of the ways in which pornography is ultimately a lie, set out in 12 reasons to give it up. A lot of this stuff is common sense, but for those in the midst of the fight it helps to be reminded of it again and again
* The second chapter is dynamite: Tim lays out 7 false promises made by pornography and the different idols that they appeal to. When asked "why do you find pornography attractive?" the answer may seem obvious, but this chapter shows what's really going on in the human heart and how ultimately porn fails to deliver in every single way and how God alone offers what we seek after. The specific idols Tim highlights are incredibly insightful and a valuable weapon in the fight.

This is a most timely book and will be a great help to people struggling with the scourge of easily accessible pornography. It is also a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the depth of the problem and help others in a compassionate and appropriate way. I would recommend it for church leaders, congregations, counselors and anyone concerned about the harm that pornography does to individuals and to society.

Great pastoral tool

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 29, 2011

I've not yet used this book with those for whom pornography has been a problem but pastorally I feel it brilliantly covers the subject biblically, shows great sensitivity and is packed with wise discipling insights.
