Book Description

Release Date: July 18 2000 | Series: The Every Man Series
the challenge every man faces...the fight every man can win

From the television to the Internet, print media to videos, men are constantly faced with the assault of sensual images. It is impossible to avoid such temptations...but, thankfully, not impossible to rise above them.
Shattering the perception that men are unable to control their thought lives and roving eyes, Every Man's Battle shares the stories of dozens who have escaped the trap of sexual immorality and presents a practical, detailed plan for any man who desires sexual purity-perfect for men who have fallen in the past, those who want to remain strong today, and all who want to overcome temptation in the future.




Includes a special section for women, designed to help them understand and support the men they love.

1.0 out of 5 stars Holiness. Do it yourself. April 26 2007
By S. Khairalla
Format:Paperback
If you wonder why so many people like that book, it is because it teaches (some) Biblical principles, like perusing holiness and purity, and that lust is bad and destructive, which are missing or forgotten values in our modern society that so many believe all the junk that Hollywood teaches us about love and sexuality. So to someone was never taught those values before it sounds like a revelation and a life changing experience.

I surely agree that purity is the right way to live, but the book handles the issue in a very naive and superficial way, suggesting strategies that most of use tried in our teenage years and they never worked. If you think I am saying this because I did not try hard enough read Joshua Harris book about the topic, or even better read a great book called "The Bible", you will find that this book is not even Biblical in the way it deals with sin. The authors say that the best way to overcome lust is to quit "cold turkey". If we can quit sin "cold turkey" then why do we need the blood of Jesus or the Holy Spirit? Well the authors say "The blood of Jesus gives you a legal right to fight sin" this is actually the only place in the book where there is a reference to the blood of Jesus, just to qualify it as a Christian book, but the authors insist that it is still up to you to get up, be a man and do it. They literally say "God will not do it for you". How about the power of the Blood to break bondages, and how about the Holy Spirit? Isn't he living in us to give us power over sin? Does not the Word of God work in transforming our mind? Did not you see or read before any testimony of a drug addict set free from addiction by the power of God?
The authors seem to say something like ... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars You can be free July 15 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Virtually all Christians, men and women alike, have been at a point in their lives where they feel that are just beating their heads against the wall "trying harder" to overcome sin and temptation. It is a battle. If you are in that situation you CAN be free and remove every hint of immorality from you life. You have to want it, and you have to acknowledge where it starts.
As a youth minister, I have young men come to me and say "I can't stop having sex with my girlfriend. I want to, but I just can't." When I tell them to avoid being alone with them, they inform me that doing that would be too hard. It's like the rich young ruler - you don't want it bad enough to give up what you have.
With men, as myself, sexual immorality doesn't start with diving into pornographic pictures (although that is certainly wrong). It starts with where your eyes look and what your mind thinks, which will lead to greater sin. I got this book around a time that I found out that someone whom I looked up to as a man of God had an affair. I was appalled. Instead of abandoning what I had learned, I took it as a warning; no one is immune from falling into temptation, and you've got to stop it before it gets that far.
Telling yourself the problem doesn't exist won't help anything. The problem is there. But there IS hope, you CAN be free from sexual immorality. This is good news! The book will help you understand that temptation starts with the little things - like looking at a girl or a picture of a girl in a skimpy bathing suit - and you've got to starve your eyes of those things.
Since I've read this book and talked with my wife (and she got over the initial shock that I deal with temptation in this area) our marriage has improved 100%, my relationship with God has improved, and my outlook on life has improved.
If you are willing to be free, this book can help you. I think it may have saved my marriage decades before the problem would have ruined it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Women Can be Tempted Also April 10 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
The usual excuse that men don't get enough sex at home is usually not true! They usually get plenty, and as much as they want. They simply prefer variety as the healthy males they are. However, women are subject to the same "temptations" and generally control themselves, partly because society has chosen to condemn them if they are prone to wander. So women either get passionate hostility from their husbands, or from society, or both, unlike men. Why either society or their husbands imagine they would or could not be interested in another man, or in being adulterous, is a mystery no one seems free to discuss, much less accept. In fact, there are many women who do not get enough sex, or the type of sex they might like to have. Yet, their requirement is absolute abstention while men are accorded the privilege of "falling." Temptations are rarely a problem if marriages are solid and both cultivate that stability. When they don't, either may stray, and perhaps, should stray since straying is a signal only of illness in the marriage because of lack of self discipline, and self control. People either exercise it or they do not. Suggesting that men are unable to control their sexual appetites, or their desire for variety (assuming they will not get in trouble for it) shortchanges men of high morals, and honest commitment - either present or not. Plenty of men "made do" with one woman, and are proud and appreciative of having her, and the same goes for women. Simply because one person finds another attractive does not mean they must, or they should, or they will allow themselves to give into the temptations of others. By and large, only juvenile personalities are inclined to exonerate themselves, or expect that they will be forgiven. Read more ›
