"Am I the only one who actually listens to the pastor?" I asked, confused-they didn't have an answer for me. I interrupted and asked if they remembered last week, when the Pastor had pointed out that nowhere in the Bible does the devil tempt anyone, let alone control their thoughts, except in the story of Job, where Lucifer had to ask God's permission first, and God did the lion's share of the tormenting. I remember one instance where they were talking about the devil being in their heads, butting doubts and thoughts in there, making them think things they didn't want to think. I remember going with him and his brother to Bible study a few times, where I was always shocked to find that I knew more about the Bible than the kids who were there, who could quote a hundred verses off the top of their heads, which was especially surprising to me, because I really didn't know much about the Bible. We'd sit and listen to the pastor and sing some songs, and often, we'd go back to his house and talk about what we'd heard.

In my opinion, this book should be followed up with professional council from a pastor or professional Christian council.When I was a kid I used to sleep over at my best friend's house, and since he and his family were practicing Christians, I ended up going to a lot of Sunday services with them. If you have addiction tendencies, This book has potential to understanding where they come from so that you can give them to God and He can heal you. Sexual sin stands in the way of that love and becomes a self-gratifying act that pushes God further away. If you do read this book, Remember that Jesus loves you and you are called to love others as a result. In my opinion, The goal of the book should be more focused on providing a step by step breakdown of what scripture says to do to help. If you are a more mature scripture studying Christian, then save yourself the time of reading it and spend your time reading scripture instead as this book may be too graphic and not sufficient to stand on its own. If you are in your early stages of your faith and want to make a change, this book may be helpful to understanding just how much of a debt that our sin really is and just how much Jesus loves us to die for us. To say that perfection can be attained negates the significance of Jesus' sacrifice. Romans 3:10 states that there is no one righteous, not even one. This is completely contrary to what the Bible says in Hebrews 7:11. The author also implies that levitical perfection is attainable. The depictions of sexual addiction scenarios were graphic to a point that they used imagery to evoke sexual thoughts and trances that they are telling the reader not to have. Please consider Galatians 5:22-23 when reading. The detail used to describe sexual addiction were gratuitous and deviated from the fruits of the spirit. I have changed my rating and edited this review after considering the entire work of it. Should be followed up with professional advice.
