Ascent to Freedom by Jason Pretzel has given me the Biblical and Clinical tools to walk closer with God, my wife, and my family. The workbook allowed me to put the steps into action. The author has a way of translating passages of the Bible for both Christian and Agnostic to gain. His vast experience as a licensed counselor comes through in a peer-to-peer way rather than a holier-than-thou way. I highly recommend this book for anybody who is in a relationship or on the verge of diving in.

Ascent to Freedom is both compassionate and practical. Jason Pretzel doesn’t approach the topic of pornography from a distance or with judgment; instead, he writes like someone who has spent years in the trenches with real men, real struggles, and real victories. The result is a guide that is grounded and gives hope and true freedom.
I’ve read many books on this subject, and what sets this one apart is the integration of Scripture, scientific research, and clinical experience. Jason’s background as a licensed counselor gives the book a peer‑to‑peer tone rather than anything preachy or condescending. This is a book that I will refer to for years to come.
