Summary: Wonderful encouragement for devastated wives - like me.
Review: I find that there are few books that impact my life so much as those written by broken people about brokenness. Laurie Hall has written such a book; I found it so encouraging to identify with the emotions and experiences she describes. She is open. She is heartrendingly honest. She holds no punches. For the second time in my life, I cried over a book. An Affair of the Mind reminded me that sexual addiction is a serious, dangerous path for men (and women) to walk. It reminded me that it cannot be ignored, or forgotten, or made light of; addiction must be dealt with, because it is a destroyer of hearts and lives. That includes Laurie's life. Her husband's life. Their childrens' lives. MY life...and so on. Anyone affected by this addiction should read this book. I encourage wives to read it, because they will find encouragement; I encourage husbands to read it because they may begin to see what their addiction has cost their marriage, their family, their entire life. Did I mention you should read this book?

Summary: This is a life changing, profound book...
Review: Although this book is written specifically for women whose husbands are involved in pornography, this book is not exclusive. It is for any woman (and man) who has despaired in their marriage. Laurie not only points to, but fully illustrates from her own experience the true source of life, God. No marriage can be what it was truly meant to be without God since it is God's institution and very great concern. I recommend this book to ANYONE who is married, or considering marriage. I cannot recommend it highly enough, it is superlative. Laurie was profoundly changed by her experience, but her response to her experience with God's enablement, has allowed her to write a book which when put into practice, i.e. going to the only one who is capable of truly helping you, God, can profoundly change your life as well.

Summary: Excellent, down-to-earth, and honest expressions!
Review: Finding out about my husband's addiction was the most shocking thing in my marriage. For the past 4 months I have been all alone trying to cope and understand his problem. I've had to be strong for him and my family, I could not talk to anyone about my feelings. This book helped me to see what is happening within my husband and also how a wife feels deep down. I've shared info from it with my husband and it has helped him to see WHY he is doing what he does. Now, he is getting therapy. Thanks Laurie for sharing your experience with others!

Summary: A good book for a young man to read
Review: I am a young unattached male and Mrs. Hall's book has worked on so many different levels, (emotional , experiential, intellectual) to warn me of the dangers of these behaviours. My future family will have her to thank for at least this part of our stability. I thank her for her testimony.

Summary: My Husband is Dead, but it is NOT too late for others!
Review: Two years ago, I returned to our lovely home only to find the door latched. A loving neighbor helded me in. It turned out to be the most embarrassing day of my life! I was stunned to find my strangled husband hanging from a horse-harness -- naked as the day he was born -- with someone buzzing away in his rear. The floor of our attic was stewn with sordid pornography! If only I had read this book BEFORE, I might has seen the signs and helped my husband before his addition ended his life and embarrassed me in front of a neighbor I now avoid. God wants Christian wives to love their husbands, but they are still men and can never be trusted. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to all women struggling with husbands who fill their minds with ungodly smut.

Summary: Pornography: A Felatious Practice
Review: This book was very easy to read, even through it didn't have pictures. I found it when I was cleaning out my husbands' sock drawer and read it strait through in one siting. I didn't even know he was intrested in pornography. We have to talk more. It was a good book.And I don't think the author was horatory at all, as the reviewerr above said - she is a good Chrsitian lady.

Summary: Finally a book that I can relate to!
Review: I have read about addictions before, and how men deal with pornography, but I have never been able to read a book that had me written into it. I know that I am not alone! Thank God for Laurie Hall and her courage to write this book! There is NO other resource out there like this book. She tells a woman how to recover from her husband's sexual addiction. She validates the fact that pornography has had an effect on her and her family. A must read book for anyone thinking that porn is a "victimless" crime.
Rating:
Summary: Decisive, sound, brutally honest look at "fornication."
Review: An Affair of the Mind lays bare both the corrupt and pure aspects of sex. Immorality has become so common-place and socially acceptable that it is difficult even for Christians to judge right from wrong in this area. The world would have women to believe that they are denying their husband "his right" if they don't approve of pornography or unnatural (painful or heartbreaking) sex. Laurie -- through both Biblical truths and secular research -- makes you stop and think about God's view of the sexual relationship and the covenant of marriage.

Summary: Fantastic - this book is life changing
Review: Laurie Hall shares an honest and heart felt account of her journey to cope with and grow in faith in spite of her husband's sexual addiction. If you are affected by this disease, this is a must read.
