| Addicted to Love |
 |
by
Stephen Arterburn |
Addicted to "Love" describes the many forms this addiction can take. Like drug addicts or alcoholics, "Love" addicts get high on sex and romance, develop a tolerance for it, and need ever-greater doses to keep going.
Stephen Arterburn examines what this addiction looks like, who it afflicts, and what you can do if you suspect that your spouse, friend, or family member may be suffering from it. With compassion and wisdom, Arterburn points the way to psychological and spiritual healing, to enable men and women to enjoy real and lasting intimacy. |

| An Affair of the Mind: One Woman's Courageous Battle to Salvage Her Family from the Devastation of Pornography |
 |
by
Laurie Sharlene Hall |
It began with a casual glance at a girlie magazine but turned into something far more insidious. "Innocent" fascination with softcore pornography eventually led to skin flicks, frequent visits to strip clubs, and encounters with prostitutes. Jack Hall's secret obsession was just that--a secret. And right before her eyes, Laurie watched her husband dissolve into a shadow of the man she loved. None of it made sense.
The Hall's story is not an isolated case. Nor has the final chapter been written. But it is an amazing testimony to the growth and restoration that comes when God opens unseeing eyes to the truth. |
