Ladies, I don't know if you are aware of this but Mike does do speaking engagements. Right now he is in Europe speaking at different churches. The reason I bring this up is maybe your churches would be interested in bringing him in to speak. He does general, men only and women only talks. Anyway just a little idea to think about.
Gracey the book is wonderful! I am learning things and I have done lots of research on porn addiction. God really uses Mike to speak to others.

Chapter 9 is POWERFUL! Seriously, I realize that I was like Jael when I called "the other woman" who had claimed to be my friend over the last two years. I called her out on her lies and took a stand that she is to never contact us again. My husband was so relieved that I did that because she still had power over him and us because of his lack of confession. More on that story in another thread. We need to slay the dragon at times and take action, ladies! Don't be a victim, we have a list of arsenals that we can take up to defeat the enemy! And we have a great God who can fight the battle for us!

I got mine on Monday. On chapter 10. I know it will be a 2 time through (if not more) kind of book. I am just reading it all the way though cover to cover, then I will go back and dissect each chapter and mark it up.

Chapter 16 is similar to the allegory that my husband wrote for me about a month and a half ago. Reading both made me cry. My poor kids probably think I'm a walking water faucet with all the crying I've been doing! That's ok, they need to see that mommy has feelings, too.

GHP did you tell your husband what you told us? I think being forthright with others is the only way to go. Of course that doesn't mean that we don't try to deliver what we say with and in love. I guess my stance is from my on battle with this addiction. I was so deceitful and had to learn to be truthful.

I enjoyed reading everyone's comments here... thanks for posting. Walking water faucet... have to remember that one.
Writing this book was far different than the first 3. I started last September and finished in December. I've never written a book that fast. It wasn't that I was in a hurry, the words were flowing.

Strong girl, welcome to BG hon. What you described from the members of your church is unfortunately common. Porn and sex addiction is the untalked about elephant in the room that everyone tries to ignore. The facts are that 80% of the men and 50% of the women in your church (including pastors) are regular users of porn. I think that is why most people try to ignore it. They don't want to have to tackle that sin in their lives.
Your book should have arrived by now. Have you contacted the company? I would suggest doing that. I pray you get your book soon. Please feel free to post on BG. You will find understanding, support and love here.
