Today I am going to review Jerry B.Jenkins's part in this book
The author acknowledged the fact that Christian could not win a victory over lust. Lust was something every man should "flee" from as instructed by Paul in his letter to Timothy in the scriptures. Therefore, His part dwelled on how to flee from lust.
His suggestions included;-
1)To run away from temptation. FLEE
2) To Understand the differences between men and women about their thought processed and sexual triggers. A man turned on by the mere thought of a beautiful woman while a woman aroused by environment, atmosphere, tenderness, romance and touch.
3)To custom made our own hedges to protect ourselves from falling into the trap of temptation.
5) Some of the hedges he suggested were as listed below;-
a) Whenever you dine with unrelated woman/man make it threesome
b) Be careful with TOUCHING. You might shake hands or squeeze an arm or shoulder in greeting but only embrace dear friends (possibly of the same sex only) or relatives but only in front of others.
c)Be careful in paying a compliment. Commenting on a pretty outfit is way different than telling someone how pretty or gorgeous they look.
d) Avoid flirtation or suggestive conversation, even in jest
e) Remember your wedding vows (often)
f) Make time with your family and especially your spouse. Never cease to date and court each other.
