In today’s world we are continuously bombarded with messages and temptations of unhealthy sexuality and “cheap intimacy”. Yet, as Christians, we are called to a greater journey and commitment to not only our relationships, but to ourselves.
This section is aimed to equip you with knowledge and truth of the sexual struggles that can desperately damage the life you live.

From the leading Christian expert in sexual addiction, this book is a great starting point for understanding the intricacies of sexual addiction in men.
