Healing the Wounds of Sexual Addiction
by Dr. Mark Laaser
With today’s rampant availability of Internet pornography, sexual addiction has
become a national epidemic that affects up to 10 percent of Christians. As
devastating as any drug habit, it brings heartbreak and despair to those it entangles.
But there is help for men and women caught in sexual addiction’s downward spiral.
This book offers a path that leads beyond compulsive thoughts and behaviors to
healing and transformation. Sensitive to the shame of sexual addiction without
minimizing its sinfulness, Dr. Mark Laaser traces the roots of the problem, discusses
its patterns and impact, and maps out a biblical approach to self-control and sexual
integrity. Whether you know someone with a sexual addiction or struggle yourself,
Healing the Wounds of Sexual Addiction points the way to understanding,
wholeness, and holiness.
Sexual Intimacy In Marriage
by William Cutrer
Every couple has those questions they don’t know how or whom to ask! Sexual
Intimacy in Marriage discusses the basics, like the definition of marriage, and the
not-so-basic topics, such as achieving sexual pleasure and biblically “ok” sexual
activity. This highly acclaimed, medically and biblically accurate book covers all the
bases about sex in marriage with a sensitivity and frankness that every couple will
appreciate.
The Meaning of Marriage
by Timothy Keller
Modern culture would make you believe that everyone has a soul-mate; that
romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that your spouse is
there to help you realize your potential; that marriage does not mean forever, but
merely for now; that starting over after a divorce is the best solution to seemingly
intractable marriage issues. All those modern-day assumptions are, in a word,
wrong. Using the Bible as his guide, coupled with insightful commentary from his
wife of thirty-six years, Kathy, Timothy Keller shows that God created marriage to
bring us closer to him and to bring us more joy in our lives. It is a glorious
relationship that is also the most misunderstood and mysterious. With a clear-eyed
understanding of the Bible, and meaningful instruction on how to have a successful
marriage, The Meaning of Marriage is essential reading for anyone who wants to
know God and love more deeply in this life.
Love and Respect
by Emerson Eggerichs
Discover the Single Greatest Secret to a Successful Marriage. Psychological studies
affirm it, and the Bible has been saying it for ages. Cracking the communication code
between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional
respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It’s the secret to
marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. Today, you and
your mate can start fresh with the ground-breaking guidance that Dr. Emerson
Eggerichs provides in this book. His revolutionary message, featured on Focus on
the Family, is for anyone: in marital crisis…wanting to stay happily married…who’s
feeling lonely. It’s for engaged couples…victims of affairs…pastors and counselors
seeking material that can save a marriage.

Rid Of My Disgrace: Hope and Healing For Victims Of Sexual Assault
by Justin Holcomb
The statistics are jarring. One in four women and one in six men are or will be
victims of sexual assault in their lifetime. But as sobering as the statistics are, they
don’t begin to speak to the darkness and grief experienced by these victims. Because
sexual assault causes physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual pain, victims
need clear help, hope, and healing. In Rid of My Disgrace, a couple experienced in
counseling victims of sexual assault explains how the grace of God can heal the
broken and restore the disgraced. Justin and Lindsey Holcomb outline an approach
for moving from destruction to redemption. While avoiding platitudes and shallow
theology, Rid of My Disgrace combines biblical and theological depth with up-todate research. This book is primarily written for those who have been assaulted
(either as children or adults) but also equips family, friends, pastors, and others to
care for victims in ways that are compassionate, practical, and informed.
