I admit it, I was afraid to buy this book.

I saw it on the shelf at the Christian book store, and I just couldn't believe my eyes. A book about sexual addiction? For women? At the Christian book store? And then I saw the author photo, and I knew.... I. Must. Buy. This. Book. If for no other reason than to make a statement.

I carried around for an hour. What would the clerk say? What would the clerk THINK? Why did I care?

I bought it.

This is a fabulous book. It's engagingly written and I could hardly put it down. As soon as I finished it the first time (in less than twenty-four hours), I started right back in for a second. It has just the right mix of clinical information, case studies, and anecdotes, backed up with solid, non-judgmental, factual information on not only identifying sexual addictions, but recovering from them. I, frankly, was totally astonished at the number of women who suffer from sexual addictions, and you'd never guess the kinds of women they are. Believe me when I say it could easily be the woman sitting next to you at your Bible study. Even though the author is definitely a Christian, this book could be read by anyone.

There is also a chapter for Husbands or other family members and clinicians.

Even if you don't need this book, read it. There is going to be someone in your life, at some point, who you know will need it. Then, instead of throwing stones, you can give her this book.… (más)
