Book Description

September 1, 2006

People from all walks of life give in to temptations and adopt patterns of secrecy and shame. David Eckman reveals how appetites can dominate the lives of men and women, and addictions to sex, pornography, food, chemicals, and even work can take hold. This is a much–needed Christian look at fighting addiction that should be in every church and home.

With research support and biblical principles, Eckman shares

  • why unhealthy appetites take root in people
  • how to trade shame for a new identity in Christ
  • why commitment to prayer, confession, and growth protects us

Readers will discover how to break the pattern of out–of–control desires and extend grace, not judgment, to those facing such struggles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful and Biblical, September 10, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sex, Food, and God: Breaking Free from Temptations, Compulsions, and Addictions (Paperback)
Dr. Eckman does a wonderful job of uncovering what is happening under the surface when it comes to all types of addiction. This book is not only helpful for those facing battles with drugs or alcohol...it would be a helpful read for anyone facing any type of addiction. He points to the family background and its long term effects and simple processes and patterns within addiction. He points people to a new understanding of what it means to be a child of God and find our security and meaning through our Creator. It's well worth the price and time to read. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Sex, Food, and God: Breaking Free from Temptations, Compulsions, and Addictions (Paperback)
A follow-on to his book, Becoming Who God Intended, Eckman illuminates a difficult topic by focusing on the intent of the words in scripture; going beyond the simple words, Eckman infuses the writing with an emotional meaning that makes these words come alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars a different way to view addiction, September 19, 2008
This review is from: Sex, Food, and God: Breaking Free from Temptations, Compulsions, and Addictions (Paperback)
david eckman has espousing "the shack" view of the trinity long before the book was written - and his treatment the theology of emotion as it relates to addiction is powerful, effective, and insightful. it has helped free me from my own addictive tendencies and examine ignored pain in my life.
