Book Description
Stealing glances at pornographic magazines. Reading novels just to get to the good parts. Finding more excitement outside marriage than in it. With frank honesty, Dr. Schaumburg examines the roots behind these kinds of behaviors, offering realistic biblical direction for healing and restoration. Includes new information on cybersex, homosexuality, women and false intimacy, and more. WHY ARE SEXUAL TEMPTATIONS SO HARD TO RESIST WHEN THE PRICE IS SO HIGH? We all long for true intimacy. Many people seek to fill that void by seeking sexual relationships-whether real or fantasized-that promise to provide the relief, acceptance, and fulfillment for which they long. But it is false intimacy. And as Dr. Harry Schaumburg points out, Sexual intimacy cant relieve their deep, unmet longings. False Intimacy goes beyond behavioral symptoms and willpower-based solutions to provide biblical guideposts for the journey to restoration. With frank honesty, False Intimacy examines the roots behind these kinds of behaviors and offers realistic direction to those whose lives or ministries have been impacted by sexual addiction.

Great Perspective,
By SNeufeld (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ezra and Nehemiah: Understanding the Struggle of Sexual Addiction (Paperback)
I have heard a lot of different angles on how a dysfunctional childhood leads to addictive behaviours, coping mechanisms, etc. What sets Dr. Shaumburg's book apart is his uncompromising, Biblical perspective. He constantly reminds you that the REAL issue is sin in the heart, and not the outward behaviour. Why bother with the branches when the root is alive and well? I really appreciate his tenacity and hitting that point home, because too often we waste our time on feel-good methods that end up having no lasting affect. It's not the easy answer anyone is hoping to find, but the truth shall set you free. Dr. Shaumburg helped me to see that I cannot ignore the sin in my heart and hope to find true healing.

Real,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ezra and Nehemiah: Understanding the Struggle of Sexual Addiction (Paperback)
After reading some of the responses, it becomes obvious that few people understand the point of reference Harry Schaumburg begins with. First, he is a Christian. So, if you are not a Christian, you will not appreciate the spiritual understanding and depth into addiction he describes. One reviewer states that the author is a fundamentalist hater of sex. Ha! I have actually met Harry and that is sooooooooo far from the truth. Harry Schaumburg presents a healthy view of sex. Period. And the healthiest view stems from the Bible itself. Man...Woman...Monogomy. Period. If you go into the book expecting some "I'm okay, you're okay." Then you will hate it. To fully appreciate sex, one has to understand more deeply the created order and its implications. Harry addresses this and does not assume some feel-good pop psychology stance. Harry addresses the implications of deviating from the created order and purposes. Anyone looking for some type of affirmation for their sexual deviance, or looking for some explanation outside of scripture, needs to save their money and instead sign up for a pop culture feel-good seminar given by...perhaps, a sex therapist who is divorced, miserable, but fully competent in telling you how to conduct your sex life.

It was good, but I sort of hoped there'd be pictures.
