Beyond the Battle
Autor Noah Filipiaken Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 dec 2017
What if the battle you're fighting has already been won?
As men fight for contentment in their marriages or their singleness, our oversexualized world continues to pump out false promises. What if the answer to your heart's longing is not to try harder or fight more intensely? What if there's actually more to the battle than accountability, online filters, and training away the symptoms of the problem (as important as those tools are)?
The good news is that there really is more to this battle, and victory depends not on your ability to fight, but on your ability to rest. It's not about working hard to avoid lust, it's about God working in you to remove (and replace) your desire for it.
Beyond the Battle dives below the surface to uncover soul-deep solutions. You will discover that everything you hoped the next woman would give you is already freely yours in Jesus. This identity in Christ will satisfy you to the core, allowing you to see yourself and women the way God intended all along.
Includes a 40-day devotional, as well as free small group videos and discussion questions.

Recenzii
'Every time I come across a book on men overcoming pornography addiction, I look for six things: authenticity, theological depth, a laser focus on the heart, encouraging words for single people, tender care for people who struggle with same-sex pornography, and practical steps. Noah nails all six.'
'If there is one cultural arena Christians need to enter (but are hesitant to), it's sexual purity. Noah has just the right voice not only to speak to this issue but to be heard.'
'Noah Filipiak dives deep into matters of the heart, exploring the transforming power of our new identity in Christ. When the empty space in our souls is filled with the life-giving presence of a generous God, we are less likely to look for substitutes to fill the gap.'
'Noah has become a voice of strength, grace, and wisdom in an area of utmost importance to the church. He is sure to become one of the leading voices speaking on our hypersexualized culture.'
'Noah is transparent about his battles, but he doesn't leave us to wallow in our sin and struggles, instead showing us God's way out of our mess. This book could not be more timely and useful.'
'This book is a godsend. Noah Filipiak flips the script on 'purity culture,' offering a refreshing and practical gospel-driven way to find serenity in our sexuality. I highly recommend it.'
'This book is an excellent resource to keep men of God entrenched in the freedom and power of the gospel. It's a great resource for those looking to honor Christ with their lives.'
'This book is brimming with gospel-centered wisdom. Whether you're single, married, or soon to be married, it will help you examine the roots of sexual temptation and some misguided views we have about sex.'
'This book is raw, vulnerable, practical, and unflinchingly honest. Noah writes from the trenches--as a pastor and a husband--about the scourge of our generation and shows us the one and only solution--Christ and his cross.'
Descriere
All men face some degree of temptation or discontentment. Here is your guide to get you past frustration into freedom. We live in a culture where 55% of married men and 70% of single men look at porn at least once a month and over half of all marriages end in divorce. To understand why that is we have to look beyond the battle to the root of both the problem and the solution...
Most books for men on how to defeat lust and improve their relationships with the women in their lives preach a plan for trying harder, thinking better, and battering their behavior into submission. The problem with this approach: no matter how strong we are today, the battle continues tomorrow, and nothing ever seems to change in the long run.
In Beyond the Battle, author and pastor Noah Filipiak shows you why symptom-based behavior management approaches offer short-term solutions. Instead, he unpacks the keys to a gospel-centered, long-term victory, helping you win the war against temptation and entitlement.
Beyond the Battle is an accessible, effective, man-to-man resource for individual or small group use that will guide you toward freedom from sexual temptations by connecting you more deeply to Jesus—to his sacrifice and sufficiency.
Filipiak addresses deep questions of marriage, singleness, and sexual temptation like:
- What's really the worst enemy in a man's marriage?
- How are my assumptions about my wife contributing to the problem?
- How does a corrected understanding of God's grace change my outlook on marriage or singleness?
Includes free access to 7-week small group video curriculum plus an option 40-day devotional.
