Breaking Free by Russell Willingham
This book was recommended by David Foster, of Mastering Life Ministries. "Russell Willingham's Breaking Free is a compelling and insightful work that seems intended primarily for Christian heterosexual males seeking deliverance from the habitual use of pornographic materials, sexual fantasizing, masturbation, prostitution and extra-marital affairs.  It is written in a down to earth and readable style and is a good place to start for Christians who struggle with sexual addictions or for those who provide counsel and support to them." 


Don't Call it Love: Recovery from Sexual Addiction by Patrick Carnes

This essential volume includes not only the revealing findings of Dr. Carnes's research but also advice from the addicts and co-addicts themselves as they work to overcome their compulsive behavior. Positive, hopeful, and practical, Don't Call It Love helps addicts, friends and family of addicts, the general public and the scientific community better understand all addictions, their causes, and the difficult path to recovery."

Now Clay and Renee tell their story with the prayer that it will help countless other marriages-perhaps even yours."
