Often when we have surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ and are looking to live a biblical Christian life, the lustful desires of the flesh can present as a stumbling block. Most often these thoughts and sexual desires can prompt feelings of guilt and condemnation especially when the body of Christ is not addressing sexual immorality and appears to tolerate it. Whilst they were still in the world, women will have undergone abortions and others would have engaged in sexual immorality. Once committed in living a Christian life, the guilt and shame of the past life can leave thoughts of being the worst sinners compared to their brethren. Brother Gery Malanda (Apostle and Leader of House Of Prayer For All Nations-Europe and Teacher on TBN Voice of Healing UK) takes a refreshingly honest and scriptural look on dealing with lustful/ sexual thoughts, abortion, masturbation and the husband/wife of the night phenomenon. Brother Gery reflects on his own personal experiences and draws from the testimonies of others to address the issues that often the body of Christ is shy to discuss. Brother Gery provides a biblical guideline on seeking a godly husband and wife. What does the bible give as the criteria? and the steps according to the word of God one should consider. He also points out God’s view on fake marriages and issues a warning to those contemplating it. Lastly Brother Gery has demonstrated through the Word of God that it’s possible to walk in the highway of holiness, how to be transformed and transfigured and how to be a disciple of Jesus Christ not just a mere convert. In a society where sexual immorality is ripe, how can a Christian ensure that they are not conformed to the world but have renewed their mind? This book is a wonderful guide as a look in the mirror to discern if you are still walking in the highway of holiness!
