Overview

CHANGING THE WAY BELIEVERSDO BATTLE WITH THE FLESHMost Christian authors and all builders of the higher-profile Bible-based purity programs insist that escape from a porn addiction is possible only with flesh-starving accountability. Not true! Relying only on the Holy Spirit, the Way of Escape Battle Plan shows readers how to: Use limbic weaponry to access and reprogram the brain Diffuse the flesh by ""walking in the Spirit"" (Galatians 5:16) Initiate regular intimacy with the Spirit, resulting in: Dramatic drops in both the number and strength of ""incomings"" Mind renewal without flesh-starving accountability The still-struggling now have another option. The still-struggling now have fresh hope for discovering God's promised way of escape (I Corinthians 10:13). A way that-because it is wholly Spirit-powered-does not require enlisting the aid of a flesh-starving accountability partner or group. Truly, a game-changer! What Others Say About This Book: In a culture where temptation is only a click away, Wiley Graf offers more than just another ""try harder"" strategy-he lays out a Spirit-powered way of escape. What I appreciate most about this book is that it's both honest and hopeful. Wiley writes with the vulnerability of someone who has been in the fight, but also with the conviction that freedom is possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. This resource is biblical, practical, and deeply needed for anyone longing to walk in purity. While Wiley affirms the biblical mandate for accountability and the blessings of community, he writes here with a specific focus on the wounded believer struggling in the isolated prisons of shame and fear. In that way, ""A Way of Escape"" can be seen as a precursor to the fuller joy of participation within the Family of God. And while not every generation-such as millennials who may resonate more with the Passion Worship movement-will connect with his specific musical suggestions, the principles he lays out are universally applicable. I gladly commend this book to believers who are weary of shame and ready to discover the life-giving freedom God promises.-Jimmy Carter, Groups & Care Pastor, Immanuel Baptist Church About the Author: AAA-Rated (Academic, Athlete, Author). Academically, Dr. Graf earned his PhD in civil engineering from the University of Akron. Athletically, he pitched on the Zips baseball team, and is a member of the Barberton (OH) Sports Hall of Fame. But all pales in comparison to his latest accomplishment. Author Graf has used his knowledge of God's Word, and Spirit-enabled triumphs over the flesh, to break new ground in the Bible-based treatment of porn addictions. Dr. Graf and his wife Susan currently reside in Central Kentucky.

I gladly commend this book to believers who are weary of shame and ready to discover the life-giving freedom God promises.-Jimmy Carter, Groups & Care Pastor, Immanuel Baptist Church***A Way of Escape describes a Bible-based approach to help deliver Christians from the bondage of porn and its related practices and sexual acts. ""Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh"" is the key verse (Galatians 5:16).Porn appeals to the ""lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes,"" so common in the world today (I John 2:16a). Many Christians caught up in porn are hesitant to seek the help offered by Accountability Partner/Group interactions, perhaps for fear that information about participants might be leaked out. It is essential that believers find help through the power of the Holy Spirit to crucify the flesh with its affections and lusts (Galatians 5:24).The battle plan described in this book has been successfully applied. It provides fresh hope for deliverance from porn and its many devastating effects. I highly recommend this book to those who feel trapped and hopelessly bound by porn.-Dr. Noel Caldwell, Retired Engineer/Educator, and Ordained Minister***Wiley Graf writes from the personal experience of his own struggle with pornography. He depicts it as a battle between the flesh and the Spirit.He does a great job of pointing out the need for a Spirit-filled life to enable us to successfully win that battle. I would encourage you to saturate your mind with the truths he brings out in this book. And then put them into practice.-Bob Combs, Pastor Emeritus, Norton Grace Church***A Way of Escape offers an important message of hope, especially needed in these trying times. Readers are given a practical plan for gaining victory over any addiction, and are reminded that they are never alone in their struggle. This book will set many people free.-Bob Harmelink, President,
