In a world where sexual content is just a click away, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to talk about pornography without discomfort or denial. Yet, Moses Chika Abanobi steps courageously into this sensitive territory with his deeply compelling book, How Youths Become Addicts to Porn, which is a timely message for a generation entangled in lust, secrecy, and silent battles.
What makes this book different is its boldness. Abanobi does not sugarcoat the dangers of pornography. He calls it what it truly is: a destructive force eating deep into the lives of young men and women, including those within the church. In a society where many believe they are free to do whatever they like with their bodies, this book serves as a thoughtful and loving warning.
A Book Rooted in Scripture, Reality, and Grace
From the very beginning, the author draws readers into a scriptural reflection using the story of Esau, who exchanged his birthright for a single meal. Abanobi likens this to the single moment of pleasure that pornography offers, only to leave behind regret, shame, and long-term consequences.

He makes it clear:
porn has an “afterwards.”
A bitter one.
The book explains how the deceptive thrill of pornography can derail a young person’s destiny, relationships, self-esteem, and even their spiritual growth. Yet, amidst these warnings, the message is not one of condemnation but of hope.
Abanobi emphasises that it’s never too late to retrace one’s steps. With the help of the Holy Spirit, anyone trapped in pornography, lust, or masturbation can experience cleansing, renewal, and real freedom. This blend of practical insight, biblical truth, and spiritual guidance forms the heart of the book.
A Spirit-Empowered Approach to Breaking Free
One of the strengths of How Youths Become Addicts to Porn is how it shows the reader how to access God’s help, not just why they need it. The book shares testimonies, findings, and carefully applied scripture passages that act as guideposts on the journey toward purity and self-control.
Its message is simple yet profound:
lasting freedom from pornography requires a deep and personal relationship with the Holy Spirit.
This is not a theoretical claim; Abanobi backs it up with real experiences and biblical wisdom that readers can relate to.
