The Road to Grace; Finding True Freedom from the Bondage of Sexual Addiction
I am on my second reading of The Road to Grace, this time reading more slowly. Mike's observations and presentation of scripture, along with the account of his own experience, give me great hope, and show me a direction that I can believe, and that I crave, from someone who's been there, where I am now. It's nice to crave something besides one more session of porn. His approach is no holds barred, but compassionate, since he has been in the pits that I'm trying to crawl out of. Also, my wife appreciated very much the section for wives. Seeing Michelle's feelings and struggles helped her to see that she is normal; in her responses, and gives her hope that the struggle will get easier over time. Thanks Mike, for this labor of love for hurting men and their wives.--GarrettI wanted to say how much I enjoyed your book.I have been running a group for wives of husbands struggling with sexual addiction (it is also my story) and I know that your book will provide them information as they journey through their own healing. Many books on sexual addiction describe and provide examples of all degrees of sexual brokenness (i.e. prostitutes, anonymous encounters etc. ) and I find that the women who only deal with pornography are quick to minimize their own pain and the subsequent consequences. They seem to settle with what s happening in their marriage because after all, at least he s not doing that.To find a book that focuses on the destruction of pornography use is very necessary. Through reading your book, women can see that it is having an affect on their marriage and family. So, I thank you. --AndreaThis is my second time reading your book. The precious gem you have written has changed my life by leading me to a closer, real relationship with Christ. With God s help I was able to see the deep, gaping hole in my heart; what you wrote caused me to finally look inside to what was going on and stop blaming others. Facing myself was the toughest thing I ve done, but through your suggestions and relying on Jesus I was able to do so. Total healing may be yet to come, but today my heart is filled with His love, compassion, and mercy.--Richard E
