Summary: We can make an covenant with our eyes
Comment: As a man, just completing the book, "Every Man's Battle", I must assure all Christian men and women out there that this book is an excellent resource for Christian men, and for their wives to understand the battles we go through. It does not make us think that women have no battles of their own and as such Christian women should come out in counsel of the battle.
However, this book is written for us, single and married men alike, to better understand ourselves, and whom we stand with in this battle. Sometimes I felt like Fred and Steve, and other times I raised my eyebrows at them. However, what I did feel was their honesty, and having had sessions with Christian men, I understand how powerful honesty is among men, that we can be open and free to speak about certain topics without fear of reproach. Like Job, and Fred, I too have now made that covenant with my eyes. I do it out of obedience to God and honour of my future wife. I applaud the openness in this book, and the faith I got in referring to the scriptures that I am not alone in this battle, and I can win the war ahead in my eyes, my mind and my heart. I really believed before that this was just a battle that I would have to live with. But I say thanks to Fred, Steve, Mike and Dan for putting this book together.
I've shared the insights I've learned with many friends and have begun passing the book around to them, so they can learn and be encouraged. I must admit I've never heard of Fred Stoeker before, but he has gained my respect as a man of God who can stand on his sexual integrity and an excellent author and counsellor in his own right.

Summary: A Woman's Point of View
Comment: I read this book to help support my fiancee who is struggling with sexual addiction. I had heard the quip "All men a perverts and all women are nieve to the fact" before, but I didn't realize how much of a spiritual burden this is to them. This book has helped to open my eyes to the struggle he is going through, and what I can do to help him as well as the male population in general...modest dress, choosing movies and music with wisdom, and fervent prayer.
I was somewhat disappointed with the women in the book, however. All of them had very negative reactions to the sin...which is appropiate. However, there also seemed to a very strong pattern of anger and judgement. That was the disappointing part. I felt more sorrow than anger, and I know that there are godly women out there who share my reaction. I guess my only complaint is that the women's section was too general and didn't allow for a wide variety of women's reactions.There are godly women out there who want to help you in the battle and will do so with honesty and maturity, but will allow you to fight the battle that only you, as a man, can truly understand.
Over all, this book has been extremely helpful in teaching both my fiancee and I of an effective battle plan to deal with sexual addiction in our relationship and giving us a glimps of the victory that the Lord has for us.
Men of God...you are in my prayers.

Summary: Don't make this Devistating Problem out to something its not
Comment: I have had a problem with pornography for most of my life. Fooling myself by saying "I can quit whenever I want". I had tried every trick in the book to overcome it but I couldn't. I finally lost a job over it. Thats when I sought out help.
This book has helped me more than even going to a psychotherapist. I was amazed at how EVERY MAN suffers from sexual immorallity to some extent and how simple the solutions are (if you're serious).
For me I realized that sexual immorallity began with the eyes then the mind(sometimes the other way). Meaning if you're serious about quitting and you train your eyes (and mind) to divert from anything that could cause you to stray(you'll know it when you see it)then you'll stop the urges before they start. THE REVIEWERS THAT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS "BOUNCING" AREN'T SERIOUS ABOUT RECOVERY. Bouncing only means that you don't take a second look at that woman or mag rack. I only want to have eyes for my wife and thats what I strive to do. God will honor your efforts and won't take offense if you don't pay homage to other beautiful women.
I have found that this works for me. And judging by how ingrained my "addiction" was This is nothing short of amazing. I have even found myself even cutting out pictures from catologs that may cause my mind not to focus on God. Whodathunkit?
You can read those other books that tell you how "You will need 6 months to a year of therapy" or you can start off by reading this book and gaining control of you HABIT.
Dont give Satan more credit than he deserves. Hasn't he taken enough from you already?
For singles and teens read "Every YOUNG mans Battle".
I hope this has helped.
