Product Description
As a young pastor, Craig Gross became overwhelmed with the sheer number of people he found himself counseling who were mired in the destructive world of online pornography. Their lives were broken, their hearts and minds corrupted. How, he wondered, could he minister to the many hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people trapped by sexual addiction?
Through accountability software and an online hub called XXXchurch.com, Craig began to give hope. Now, with Eyes of Integrity, he offers a helping hand to pastors, counselors, concerned friends, and those personally struggling with sexual addiction. Through these pages he and coauthor Jason Harper cover how bad the problem is and what can be done about it. From porn-proofing your home and nurturing your marriage to what to do when someone you know is in trouble, the chapters in this book offer hope in what can seem like a hopeless situation.

Review of Eyes of Integrity, Sep 23 2010
By Keiki Hendrix "Vessel Project Book Reviewer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eyes of Integrity: The Porn Pandemic and How It Affects You (Paperback)
Quite an eye-opening book filled with message that God loves and is the only hope for those caught up in sexual addiction."There are those who have a heart for people involved in or going through very tough times. They are Christians , Pastors, and others who have compassion and desire to serve people facing life altering events. For instance, those working in Hospice Care, Prison Ministry, and other tough areas.
Craig Gross is one these people. His ministry is speaking, writing, debating others in the porn industry. To focus your life and work on an area that should be addressed by the Church but often is not, such as sexual addiction and pornography, takes a special calling - a special kind of grace.
I requested `Eyes of Integrity: The Porn Pandemic and How it Affects You' by Craig Gross of "FireProof Ministries" as research on a writing project. I am not sure what I expected from Craig Gross but I can tell you his heart is for those caught up in the porn industry.
I am not sure I agree with many of his techniques such as going to porn conferences, and engaging others who advocate porn as a legitimate industry, some language used in many of his articles, and writing and speaking openly about sub-categories of the porn industry but I do not doubt his heart to reach the people caught up in sexual addition.
This book is a wake up call to us all. It contains first a look at the issue of pornography by providing some eye-opening statistics. After reading that 47% of Christians actively engage in pornography, I looked at the congregation of my Church in a very different light knowing that books such as these are needed.
The rest of the books focuses on accountability and stresses that sexual addictions cannot be overcome alone noting the two criteria needed: confess it to God and confess (and become accountable) to another. Also included are several resources that direct the reader how to identify a sexual addition, how to respond, where to seek help, and basically repeating the gospel that God is the only hope in overcoming sexual addiction.
Included also is a CD resource with a video message from Craig Gross and an offer for the accountability software his organization has developed called SafeEyes.
