Restraint and Freedom: Defeating Temptation Through Self-Control (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922584175)

Temptation rarely arrives announcing itself. It whispers relief, promises pleasure, and quietly steers us toward the edge. In Restraint and Freedom, R. D. Norman shows why self-control is not cold legalism, but a grace-fuelled path to real freedom. With Scripture-shaped clarity and vivid imagery, this book helps you recognise your triggers, build wise defences, and cultivate habits that starve sin rather than feed it. Most importantly, it fixes your eyes on Christ--tempted as we are, yet without sin--and on the Holy Spirit, who strengthens weary fighters with fresh resolve. If you're tired of the cycle--resolve, relapse, regret--this is a call to take up your armour again. Restraint is not the enemy of joy. It is the doorway to it.
