<p>Pleasure.</p> <p>We live in a world obsessed with finding it, passionate to enjoy it, and desperate to maintain it. Chief among such pleasures are sex and money - two pleasures unrivaled in their power to captivate our attention, demand our worship, and drive us to hide or to despair.</p> <p>You don't have to look far to see that we are in big trouble in both areas. Many of us see the battle. We feel the strain of the war. And we are eager for freedom in a world gone mad.</p> <p>Seasoned counselor and pastor Paul David Tripp pulls back the curtain on the lies that surround us and on the distortions we often overlook. As Tripp thoughtfully exposes the insanity of our culture, he also wisely speaks to our own tendencies to fall prey to sexual and financial idolatry.</p> <p>Sex and Money ultimately directs us to God's Word and the liberating power of the gospel, offering real-world advice, and giving us the guidance we need to find true joy and enduring satisfaction.</p> <p>Look for the companion DVDs and audio teaching, available at paultrippministries.org!</p>

Life changing, Eye opening. Must read

I can't even put into words how awesome this book is. Even if you don't think you have sex and money struggles ( after reading this you may realize you really do) this is an eye opening book on how these two issues shape our worship of God and how much the church buys into the insanity of the culture around us. I read the other reviews that had issues with his repetitions but I guess because I was prepared for it, it didn't bother me. I really felt the author did it to stress his points, not to be a nuisance or forgetting he already said it. Read this book once and then read it again truly asking yourself the many questions it poses. It's going to lead to some life changing revelations on sex and money and your worship of God. Read more
