Rating: Summary: Excellent book Review: As a wife of a porn addict, I didn't know that so many things were tied together... I thought his porn addiction was just one aspect of his life, I didn't know that being financially controlling, emotionally distant and cold, not having intimacy in or out of the bedroom, not socializing.... it was all related! This book helped me to go from feeling isolated and alone to realizing I'm not the only woman who is in this exact same spot! And best of all... there is help and there is hope! AND Kathy Gallagher helps you to stay focus on the Almighty Healer through it all. I highly reccomend this book to anyone hurting and searching for answers.
Rating: Summary: Great Help in Times of Crises!!! Review: Unlike the previous reviewer, this was not a waste of money, and as far as Patrick Carnes is concerned, he has particular limitations, in that he doesn't focus on the spiritual applications. Kathy Gallagher has lived through her own husband's addiction for many years, and yes...she has compiled letters, but this is important, as it is an emotional look at a painful subject.
She provides encouragement by providing practical and biblical answers based on real life testimonies, and she not only sympathizes with the emotional turmoil wives experience, but more importantly, she directs them to their only true source of hope - Jesus Christ.
Read with an open heart and mind, and make up your own mind, not based on a biased and ill-informed perception of faith and the answers it provides. You make the decision!! The book comes highly recommended!!!
Rating: Summary: Save your money and your time Review: Wow, this book was a waste. The author has basically put together a bunch of letters she wrote to grieving wives of addicts. Her advice makes me wonder if she has had any therapy or help dealing with her own grief. There is a lot of anger and pain right under the surface. Save your money and buy something by Patrick Carnes. This one is a waste of time.
