Another Look at Lust: A Christian View
Albert Mohler

President, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Joshua Harris takes lust very seriously – so seriously in fact that he has written a new book that takes the issue head-on. In
"Not Even a Hint: Guarding Your Heart Against Lust," Harris provides a candid appraisal of lust as a challenge for the Christian believer.

According to Harris, lust is wrongly directed desire. "To lust is to want what you don't have and weren't meant to have," he explains. "Lust goes beyond attraction, and appreciation of beauty, or even a healthy desire for sex – it makes these desires more important than God. Lust wants to go outside God's guidelines to find satisfaction."
