I read Driscoll's book and was really encouraged by so much of it. Men should "man up", get accountable and know that Jesus has ultimate demands over every area of our lives, including t'internet et al.

But I must say it was quite heavy on the fear of the Lord - which is obv. deeply Biblical and needs to be taught, but lacking on how Christ is better than porn and how we are cheating our hearts out of the full riches of grace that we have in Christ.

I would recommend reading Driscoll's book in conjunction with something like Thomas Chalmers' the expulsive power of a new affection, which considers how we might pursue our deepest joy and thus deplace sinful lusts from our hearts. Combined the two give perhaps a fuller Biblical picture of sanctification.
