Pornography is no longer a problem in the world; it is an epidemic trapping millions of men, women and children in a hopeless cycle of guilt, shame, anger, and defeat. It leaves a trail of broken marriages, sexualized children, lost jobs, and unfulfilled dreams in its wake.

Studies show nearly two-thirds of men, one in five women and one in three pastors regularly visit sexually explicit websites. It is estimated that at least one-quarter of employees use work computers to view pornography on company time.

Ten years ago, 90 percent of boys and 60 percent of girls were exposed to pornography before their 18th birthday. Today, children between the ages of 9 and 17 are among the world’s largest producers of pornography thanks to technological advances in cell phones and webcams.

Pornocide: Why Lust is Killing Your Faith, Stealing Your Joy and Destroying Your Life is unique. It’s a fictional tale of a man who is caught in his sin and, through a series of divine appointments, develops addiction-crushing, mountain-moving faith to finally enjoy complete freedom.

Review

By Terry Cooper, The Texas RV Professor
"Every year, millions of men and women find themselves hopelessly trapped in the habit of lust and pornography. This bondage often begins in childhood and sets into motion a long path of destruction. Greg's book, Pornocide is an exceptional fictional story of hope and encouragement as seen through the life of a man, trapped in a problem he can't escape, but fully restored to a life of overflowing joy and forgiveness. Pornocide provides a road map that shows it's possible to enjoy complete freedom from the bondage and destruction that pornography brings. This freedom comes from a personal relationship with Jesus the Christ and from the support of others who have been rescued from the same deep, dark pit."

By Kendall Bridges, Senior Pastor, Freedom Church in Carrollton, Texas
"Pornography is not just a problem in the world today; it's an epidemic trapping millions of men and women in a hopeless cycle of guilt, shame, anger and defeat. Greg's book shows it is possible to find freedom, but only if you truly believe it can happen. Let him show you how to develop addiction-crushing, mountain-moving faith."

By Tony Kolasch, Pastor, Evansville Community Church in Evansville, Wis.
"The world today is immersed in a battle for the hearts and minds of believers and non-believers alike. The battle against God's intended purpose of marriage and sex is especially fierce, as statistics relate that seven out ten people in the church today are affected by pornography in some way or another. Greg Gerber writes a story hurting and shamed people will be able to relate to, which is what our culture is starving for--not the shaming of a news story, but the compassion of a Savior who understands and desires us to be free."

By Tony Troop
"Pornocide is one of the most captivating books I have ever read, pointing out the dreadful certainty that marks a pornography addiction in today's world. I had a hard time putting it down."

Chuck Marzahn, Elder, Trinity Church
"In Pornicide, Greg has engaged one of the toughest topics facing Christian men today. If you stand in a group of three men today (whether they claim a biblical worldview or not) one of those three will have viewed pornography in the past thirty days. It is time to stand firm against Satan and his perversions. Greg's allegory shows how it can be done."

Mark LaMaster, Author of Friday Night Lights for Fathers and Sons"
Pornography may be Satan's most effective tool against men, teenagers, and boys. Dads addicted to porn may feel hopeless and defeated. Boys addicted to porn misperceive the true beauty of God's wondrous creation and cannot stop the craving that porn creates. Greg's book shows that it is possible to defeat lust and enjoy complete freedom.

By Pastor Jedidiah Haas
"Greg has authored an exceptional fictional story of hope and encouragement as seen through the eyes of one man caught in his sin, but restored to a life of joy and abundance. Yes, it is possible to find complete freedom from lust and pornography. This book offers the right battle plan for success."

By Scott Kegel, Lead Pastor, Agoura Bible Fellowship in Agoura, Calif.
"Pornocide may be a fictional book, but as a pastor I see the story line played out in real life time and time again with both men and women who find themselves hopelessly trapped in a habit they can't seem to break. Worse, children are becoming addicted to pornography at very young ages. With three young kids of my own, I find this extremely concerning.

About the Author

A native of Wisconsin, Greg Gerber is a DODO (Dad of Daughters Only). He has three grown daughters and four granddaughters, which means he speaks fluent female. His first grandson arrived in June 2017.

He is an award-winning journalist who spent 17 years covering the recreation vehicle (RV) industry by editing several magazines before venturing out on his own to create the industry's first online daily publication, blog, and podcast. For three years, he traveled across America full-time in a motorhome, visiting all 48 continental states and reporting on the industry.

His life wasn't always sunshine and adventure, though. After his parents divorced when he was eight years old, Greg struggled with poor self-esteem and anger. He was bullied frequently in elementary and middle school to the point of having his arm broken. His father died suddenly when Greg was 19 years old, and for much of his life Greg struggled with a weight problem.

The one common thread through it all was an obsession with pornography, which began two weeks after his 12th birthday when a neighbor teen showed him a Playboy magazine. Porn became a welcome escape from the heartbreak, loneliness, and abandonment he felt.

By the time he was 33, Greg had accumulated 1,400 men's magazines before his wife discovered the problem. After that, he ditched the paper dolls and his obsession went viral while he accumulated more than four million hidden electronic porn images and 25,000 videos at the lowest point of his life.

However, during that time, Greg became a Christian, and God slowly peeled back the layers of hurt, anger, and bitterness for many years until Greg could finally break free of the bondage.

Today, he splits his time between the Midwest and Texas (to be closer to his girls) while working as a speaker and author of faith-based books. He believes in the power of second chances and is passionate about helping others build habit-crushing, mountain-moving faith to defeat the Goliaths in their lives.
