Summary: Shaming and Outdated
Review: I found this book to be a shaming and outdated pitch for the authors treatment center.

Save your money to buy something by Patrick Carnes. I had high hopes for this book and was sorely disappointed. This author may be sober, but he is not well and certainly doesn't seem to know a lot about addiction. He uses the same three biblical quotes repeatedly, to the point where I wondered if he had read any of the rest of scripture.

IF you believe that addiction is a sign of moral weakness, you will like this book. If you are looking for Christian hope and thoughtful insight, try reading False Intimacy: Understanding the Struggle of Sexual Addiction by Harry W. Schaumburg. Schaumberg fused scripture and addiction into something inspiring and useful.

Summary: The unadulterated truth
Review: This book is awesome. Steve Gallagher is truly a blessing to not just men in bondage but to all Christians. There is substantial food in this book that should be eaten by all people and all Christians. Before I even finished the book, I had to stop and write Steve Gallagher a letter thanking and praising him for letting the Lord use him to convey this information. That just goes to show how much I had "eaten" before even finishing the book. I feel that if you do not have this book, you will either remain in darkness or be walking in the light with sunglasses on.
