A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO OVERCOMING ADDICTION!, October 23, 1998
This review is from: Stone Cold in a Warm Bed: One Couple's Battle with Pornography (Paperback)
As a pastor I counseled countless couples dealing with addictions (from alcoholism, drug addicts, "spendaholics", compulsive gamblers to sexual addicts) who would have benefitted from this practical guide to health and freedom.
The book includes perspectives from both the addict and the spouse thus encouraging an evenhanded presentation of the struggles and emotions both spouses experience separately and as a couple.
There is a nice balance between practical suggestions and Biblical insights for addressing the many issues that plague the family of the addict including grief, betrayal, hopelessness, shame, guilt, and forgiveness.
I recommend it highly with one important observation. This book should NOT belimited to those struggling with sexual addiction. It is a valuable resource for anyone struggling with any type of addiction.

This review is from: Stone Cold in a Warm Bed: One Couple's Battle with Pornography (Paperback)
Stone Cold in a Warm Bed is a wonderful resource for couples struggling with a sexual addiction and for anyone dealing with this issue in a counceling environment. It is not a clinical study or explanation of this addiction, but rather a clearly written and very candid account of one couple's experience. This book offers help and hope to hurting couples, and insight to those who councel them.
