Synopsis

With today's rampant availability of Internet pornography, sexual addiction has become a national epidemic that affects up to 10 percent of Christians. As devastating as any drug habit, it brings heartbreak and despair to those it entangles. But there is help for men and women caught in sexual addiction's downward spiral.This book offers a path that leads beyond compulsive thoughts and behaviors to healing and transformation. Sensitive to the shame of sexual addiction without minimizing its sinfulness, Dr. Mark Laaser traces the roots of the problem, discusses its patterns and impact, and maps out a biblical approach to self-control and sexual integrity. Previously titled Faithful and True, this revision includes an all-new section that deals with sexual addiction in the church. Other important changes reflect cultural trends, incorporate current research, and place a greater emphasis on spiritual growth. This book also addresses the unique needs and issues of female sex addicts. Whether you know someone with a sexual addiction or struggle yourself, Healing the Wounds of Sexual Addiction points the way to understanding, wholeness, and holiness.

Goodreads review by Luke on July 10, 2017

An excellent and in depth study into the roots of sexual addiction, how to diagnosis it, how to find healing and eventually recover. I was immediately struck by the seriousness of Laaser's tone, and for good reason - sexual addiction holds within it the same consequences to gambling or drug addictio......more

Este libro llegó a mis manos por la gracia de Dios y terminó arrojando luz y entendimiento a alguien que estaba totalmente inconsciente de su padecimiento.

Goodreads review by Juniper on November 02, 2024

Ironically, this book was given to me by a friend/coworker who'd brutally use my history of addiction as leverage in an (attempt) to human traffic me the very same day I finished it. The realization that while even tho recovered from this crippling addiction, it still follows me. I found myself oddl......more

Truly the best, most comprehensive publication on possibly the most addictive behavior experienced by man; lust. I've read all of the popular titles including those who poorly introduce the 12-step process that they believe is the cure-all to everything that is bad for us. I'm drawn back to Laasar's......more
