Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do?

"Every Christian I know gets stuck at some point in their journey doing something they don't want to do. In this book, JP not only shows you the way out but also presents a biblical and practical path to freedom that only Jesus can offer."

Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Find Your People; founder and visionary of IF: Gathering

"Jonathan Pokluda writes with the same passion and conviction that he lives. For all of us who wonder why sin is so tempting and wish we had better tools to turn away from it, JP gives us those tools in this book. It's genuine, kind, and may sting a little, but it will also walk you toward who you want to be."

Annie F. Downs, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds Fun

"JP uses years of hard-earned wisdom to build this message for the masses. Whether you're seventeen or seventy, you'll be challenged and encouraged with truth. But JP knows you can't make these changes on your own—that's why he goes to great lengths to anchor every chapter in Scripture and the hope of the gospel. He repeatedly points us toward the God who equips us for the growth we all desire as he conforms us to his image."

Tara-Leigh Cobble, author and host of The Bible Recap book and podcast

"Doctors told me I would die if I didn't quit drinking. I knew they were right; the problem was I didn't know how to stop. We all have a desire to do things that are harmful to us. We often choose to do the harmful things rather than pursue a virtuous life that honors God. But here I am about twenty years sober, and I can testify that what you'll read in this book—or rather Who—is your ancient, well-worn path to not doing what you don't want to do."

John Elmore, author of Freedom Starts Today; teaching pastor of Watermark Community Church, Dallas, Texas

"Inside this book JP gives words and a voice to all the things that are sometimes too hard for us to say, mainly concerning how we conduct our lives on this side of eternity. There is no self-help book that can align your life with the will of God and the purpose he has for you. JP's intentionality to make this clear sets this book apart from any others. JP understands that without God's intervention we cannot live set-apart lives where we maximize our purpose and potential."
