From a Biblical perspective this book tackles the epidemic of pornogrpahy head on. Unlike other Christian books that use more behavioral changes with a dash of scripture, this book is scripture rich and deals with the issue of the heart. As a Pastor and Biblical counselor I highly recommend this book.

Having given myself over to pornography for over a decade, I've read countless books on how to overcome in this area. I've also sought out several counsellors and groups that deal with sexual addiction. I can tell you that nothing I've read on the subject has been more impactful than this book. This book puts sin in its proper place. This is a no nonsense approach to overcoming sin in your life. Freedom is available to those who want it and this book is an awesome resource to guide you back on the right path. Check out the purity for life app as well. They have a lot of great resources.

Format: Paperback

Now in a revised and expanded 20th anniversary edition, At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry is a guide for Christian men about the struggle to overcome sexual addiction through faith and spirituality. Author Steve Gallagher, founder and president of Pure Life Ministries, discusses his strict views on sexuality and means by which faithful individuals can overcome their base desires and live a more godly life. It should be noted that At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry emphatically condemns all forms of sex outside of marriage - including masturbation. "The devil can dangle a carrot in front of your face, but there is something inside you that actually wants that carrot. You aren't lustful because some demon comes on you. You are lustful because you have within you a desire for what isn't right." A powerful guide to finding inner peace despite the dual rampant onslaught of today's sexually charged culture from without, and the utterly selfish sexual cravings from within.

When push came to shove and my back was up against a wall, God used At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry to change my life. Not only did this book expose my sexual addiction for sin, and lead me to true godly repentance, but it taught me how to be an actual DOER of God's word and walk in the Spirit (which is where the ONLY true victory over sexual addiction is!).

Steve has a special ability to communicate the hope that DOES exist for those of us who are struggling, because he has been there himself and has allowed God to conquer him. He's not some stuffed shirt telling you his "theory", but rather leading you into God and out of sin.

Now, after two years of solid victory over sexual addiction, I continue to watch men's lives change because of the powerful truth this book contains.

If you are a Christian man who struggles with sexual sin, a wife who has been victimized by this hideous sin, a pastor or Christian counselor, this book will bring healing and restoration through God's word. I stand as a living testimony that God IS able to set the captive free and heal a broken life. I encourage you to look no further.

If you are searching for a book that will deal directly with sexual addiction from testimony and God 's word, you have found it right here. God bless you.


Amazing eye opener for all.

This book is an amazing eye opener for everyone to read.Almost everyone of us have had struggles in this area although we pretend not to.But this book shows us the way out & is powerful as it is fully based on God's word. This will show us the way to peace,enhance our marriage & brighten our future as it sets one free from sexual bondage.

The only sad thing is that this book has not been advertised well & is not available in the open in many bookstores,I guess because of the nature of it's topic.All may not be a sex addict but for the perverted world we live in,reading this would even prevent one from becoming one & being entangled so easily.Prevention is better than cure.That's why I say it's a must read for all.
