Rating: Summary: Horrible Book! Review: It is certainly horrible when a man destroys his life for pornography! But the majority of people who look at pornography do not destroy their lives over it! Porn is a hobby just like any other hobby! Does that mean that all pornography is bad and should be banned? Thousands of people die every year in automobile accidents, so does that mean that automobiles are bad and should be banned? She thinks that her opinion is the right opinion and that anyone who disagrees with her is wrong! This book presents a very ignorant view of pornography! The author has alot to learn! What a waste of time!

Rating: Summary: helps Heal hurting wives & Stop husbands who hurt Review: This book is extremely helpful to both women, and men (who need to know the dangers down this road before traveling too far on it). I have recommended it to my wife (she too, has found help here) - and I will also ask my teen-aged daughters to read it. I think each young man should read this book around the time he first starts recognizing the incredible power of sexual urges in his life (I hope they are mature enough to handle it).
The author (my heart goes out to her), effectively communicates the problems with the "surface suggestions" that are offered to wives who are effected by their "hooked husbands", and she tells how she has been able to keep her own dignity while helping her husband on his journey out of this quagmire. I have found help for myself in reading this book , ( I have had problems with soft-core porn). This book has helped me understand how this material has negatively impacted my ability to enjoy the optimum relationship with my wife -- that of a REAL PERSON to PERSON RELATIONSHIP - as opposed to the situation where I receive sexual feelings outside of an environment of real interactions with the real person who is giving of herself to interact with me in myriad ways including sex). This book helps me understand the terrible price paid , when I succumb to unbridled lust : the effects this has on my wife and also on myself : not the least of which is how our relationship is hindered from being the best it can be for each of us
Rating: Summary: It's a love story between a woman and her Savior Review:
This book, a true story, details how Laurie Hall discovered that
her husband, Jack, had an addiction to pornography. There's a lot of insight in this book on how a sexual addiction
can harden the heart of a man without him being aware of it....
Far more detailed than what happened to Jack, however, is the description of what Laurie went through. The surprise. The betrayal. The anger. The shame. The sense of lose.
The commitment. The discipline. The great and precious promises.
The growth. The hope. The renewal.
This book details how Laurie resolved to feed her spiritual hunger
through reading the Word, prayer and fasting.
Laurie found she could only control one thing: her own obedience to God.
Are you struggling with this issue? Is your spouse? Order it.
Rating: Summary: Thanks Laurie for your realness!!! Review: This book is such a lifeline in addition to the Bible and a Christian counselor at a time like this in life. It is such a need to hear from someone who's "been there" and survived thus far. Times like these don't let you know they're coming usually and most people, even Christians, lack understanding and knowledge on this secret yet widespread addiction and it's victims. People like Laurie are truly a God sent for those of us who have limited resources or outlets to turn. I wish nobody, including myself, would ever have to experience this horrible betrayal and spiritual battle, but if you do, read this in addition to the Bible, prayer, and a Christian counselor who specializes in this area. Trust me, I know.
