Finally Free: Fighting for Purity with the Power of Grace
Heath Lambert has penned a powerful new gospel-centered book: Finally Free: Fighting for Purity with the Power of Grace.
My Endorsement
I was honored to write an endorsement:
In my book Soul Physicians I ask the question, “What would it look like to build a model of counseling built solely upon Christ’s gospel of grace?” Heath Lambert’s book answers that question! Finally Free offers a unique blend of a pastor’s sensitivity, a theologian’s discerning insights, and a counselor’s understanding of people. And it does so by mapping the intersection between gospel indicatives—what Christ has done for us and who we are in Christ—and gospel imperatives—practical biblical principles and relevant strategies that are grace-filled. Because of my heavy load of counseling people struggling with pornography—including ministry leaders—I’ve read just about every Christian book on the topic. Finally Free is now the number one book I will recommend to pastors, counselors, strugglers, and those who love them.
The Biblical Counseling Coalition Interviews Heath
To learn more about Finally Free, I’d encourage you to visit the Biblical Counseling Coalition’s Book Review site to read their interview of Heath on Finally Free.
Here’s a snippet…
BCC: “What are your hopes for the book? Who is its message for?”
HL: “Finally Free is for two kinds of people. In the first place, it is for anyone struggling with pornography. People trapped in the clutches of pornography, by definition, don’t know how to get out on their own—and often don’t know where to look for help. This book is meant to be a grace-motivated and practically-relevant guide for how to find freedom from its grip. In the second place, this book is for anyone who wants to help a person who is struggling with pornography. People who are trapped in pornography are usually surrounded by people who love them and have no idea how to help. I wrote this book for gospel-ministers and lay people who want to walk with struggling people down the path toward freedom.
I hope that this book will be a game-changer. I have prayed that it would be the beginning of a great work God would do to create a church that is defined by purity and freedom from pornography. The gospel is God’s power and I’m praying that God would use this book to connect people living in the darkness of porn to the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

Andy Naselli reviews Finally Free here. He calls it “by far the single most helpful book on sexual purity for men that I’m aware of.” Read his entire review.

Hi. I like this review of this book as I struggle with this issue and want to break free from it already. Do you give a free copy out to those fighting for purity? Thanks.
