Summary: Women need to read this book
Review: It's amazing how differently men and women are wired. Women have always been told that men say "I love you" to get sex, and women have sex to hear "I love you." Still, probably not many of us women grasp the reality of the male sexuality. We still think sexual attraction is tied to emotional attraction. Not so! While none of the content of this book surprised me, it did give me a once for all (I hope) understanding of what men are really thinking when I think they are interested in me. I also appreciate the understanding I gained about men's struggles. I can be more sensitive now in how I dress and act, and can pray more effectively for men since I now know exactly what to pray about for them.

Summary: A must read for every man.
Review: From a female perspective: This is a book every man who sincerely wants to love his wife and children should read. These authors not only understand the hearts of men but also the hearts of women. God's intention for how men are to live their lives is clearly outlined.

Summary: Right to the point, but becomes a little leaglistic.
Review: This is a great book for men who don't belive what they are doing (lusting after women with just thier eyes and minds) is wrong. I liked the basis for the book, but I don't think that just by trying a little harder we can escape the sin of lust. It takes much more than we have to offer as a human. It takes a power greater than ourselves. My wife really got a lot of the book, she still can't belive how visual men are,(its true, we all are).

Summary: Should be on one's short list for books on this topic.
Review: As a single Christian man in a sexually charged society, I am always on the lookout for books that help me on the path to sexual purity. This book certainly falls into that category. The authors face this crucial issue head-on, and they provide good insights on how to deal with it. One complaint I had (which echoes that of another reviewer) was the overly negative response to this issue by the wives and female friends of the authors. While such a reaction to the actual sin is appropriate, they seemed very negative and judgmental towards the temptation itself. One woman even said she wasn't sure if she could marry again if her husband died due to her distain for this common male struggle! I think an encouraging and challenging attitute from a woman would go a lot farther toward helping a man through this fight than one of condemnation. After all, women have their own struggles as well, if the huge markets for romance novels and diet plans are any indication. ;-) As the saying goes, "united we stand, divided we fall." I have seen one pitfall with these kind of books. The danger of focusing too much on fighting a particular sin or struggle to the detriment of what should be our real focus - a positive, love relationship with Christ. Indeed, Jesus said that the fulfillment of the law is to "love God with all your heart, strength, soul, and mind," and the second is like it, to "love your neighbor as yourself." That, coupled with the comparison of the church as "the bride of Christ" leads me to believe that the best remedy for this (or any) issue is to cultivate a constant love relationship with God. Of course, that doesn't negate one's personal responsibility for holiness, nor does it alleviate the need for accountability. But if we fail to meet our need for love and intimacy in the right way, we will continue to try and meet it the wrong way - with sin. Other books on this topic I would recommend are "The War Within" by Robert Daniels and "Freedom from Sinful Thoughts" by J. Heinrich Arnold. The Bible is quite helpful as well...;-) God Bless, and finish strong!

Summary: marginally helpful
Review: My wife is a biblical literalist. I am not. I don't believe that sexually explicit material is inherently immoral. We have disagreement on this area. This book was supposed to help us discuss those disagreements. It did not do that. The most useful information was the male sexual tension cycle. I find the theology, psychology, and attitude of this book legalistic.

Summary: Best book on this subject I've ever seen
Review: This book grabs your attention from the start with the stories that do indeed reflect every man's battle. The book takes you step by step through a process of realizing the extent of the problem (lust and sexual impurity), developing in you a desire to fight the problem, and then giving you the action steps to win the fight. Great book, I'm buying several to give away.

Summary: Sexual purity: the impossible dream?
Review: Hey, with all the sensual bombardment from the media, the sexy clothing and increasing lack of modesty that adorns women today, and the easy availability of pornography, just what do you expect from a red-blooded, American male, anyway? God expects sexual purity, and forget the macho excuses. What's a guy to do, with so many temptations on one hand and God's standards on the other hand? It seems like we're stuck between a rock and a hard place. This book gives very practical, step-by-step advice on coming out of the jungle of sexual temptation. Although this is written from the standpoint of married men, singles, like myself, can also benefit (even though we lack that wife to bear the focus of our full sexual attention). I particularly liked the sections of the book written from the women's point of view. It's very enlightening to see how men and women are "wired" differently, and how disgusted females actually get at the uncontrolled male sex drive! Is maintaining sexual purity in both mind and actions impossible for the male of the species? This book says no, and it has the solutions. I would say this book is essential for every Christian man.

Summary: Life Changing!
Review: God recently compelled me to lead a men's small group studying the seven deadly sins. Through my research on each sin, I was compelled to pick up Every Man's Battle from my local Christian book store! Not only was I unable to put the book down, but I soon realized that the authors were truly speaking to me. Mr. Arterburn's strategies for men to gain God's plan for sexual purity are truly incredible. He opens his own heart with courage and wisdom by describing his own struggles with lust and how, over time and with God's holy help, was able to slay the dragon of sexual temptation. Therefore honoring God's command for the love of our wives and families. Although, not easy, gaining sexual purity through God's guidance is described as a necessary goal for all Christian men. A MUST READ!

Summary: The best book I have read on the subject
Review: I have read several books on this subject and none are more to the point than this book. It is fair as well because they discuss how temtation is normal to a certain degree. THey speak a tough remedy (bouncing eyes...) in this book that most men would not be able to handle. But it is all the truth. Every man should read this book.
