MUST READ... Every Man's Battle... Winning the War On Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker with Mike Yorkey

101 Practical Exercises: A Christian Guide for Sex Addiction Recovery by Douglas Weiss, Ph.D. (Available directly from Heart to Heart Counseling, P.O. Box 51055, Colorado Springs, CO 80949)

The workbook contains very helpful written exercises for the recovering addict, from early to later recovery. Most effective as part of a mentoring process, not as a stand-alone resource. 

The Pornography Trap by Ralph Earle & Mark Laaser

If you’re flirting with this devastating addiction, or if you’re counseling others who have already crossed the line, Earle & Laaser help you understand the core issues related to sexual sin and give insight into developing a biblical view of healthy sexuality. A must read for pastors and counselors!!

Pure Desire by Ted Roberts

When Good Men Are Tempted by Bill Perkins   

Highly readable book on temptation, by a pastor and popular men’s speaker. Possibly the best explanation in print on how God wired men sexually. Very educational for wives, although it will probably be upsetting.
