First, there are the ones who know they have a problem (usually because they have gotten into trouble due to their addiction), but are not really ready to deal with it. Roberts advocates is to become part of a small group where men can "confess trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that may be healed (James 4:7)." I have seen a number of men go through the FMO group I attend, and there seem to be two types. For example, one of the main healing strategies Dr. Finally, I visited one of their For Men Only (FMO) sexual addiction healing groups as part of my seminary internship, and I found it so helpful for my own struggles that I have stayed with it for almost nine months and counting.Basically, I have found the methods and ideas presented in the book to actually work in real life. Their answers backed up what I read in the book, and my interaction with them showed me their genuine desire to see people healed from the bondage of sexual addiction. Roberts and his staff about their methods, theology, etc. During the seminar, I (and others) directly questioned Dr. Roberts' three-day Pure Desire Seminar, which is intended for pastors who want to start a ministry for sexual addicts in their own churches. I can say that because I've been able to personally investigate the book's background and apply its truths to my own life, since I live very close to Ted Roberts' church in Gresham, Oregon.In addition to reading the book, I attended Dr. Suffice to say, Pure Desire is one of the best books on healing sexual addiction that I've ever read.

It was definitely worth the free time I had to sacrifice in order to read it. Her strong recommendation of this book made me want to read it ASAP, and I managed to fit it in between my regular course reading. One of my seminary counseling teachers wanted to make Pure Desire required reading during the Fall 2001 semester, but had read it too late to include it in our class reading list. I'm still trudging up my hill but I see light at the other side.
The battle is uphill, but the victory of purity is worth it. If this is you, I suggest giving it one more try and read this book. Some people are good Christians, they pray, read their Bibles, and spend time with God but can't seem to get this part of their lives taken care of. I highly recommend trying to find a small group that hosts Pure Desire and to go through the Seven Pillars of Freedom workbook as a supplemental aid which in my opinion, is actually even better than the book. The book aims at exposing the heart, which is the root of where all of our issues with purity reside. This book strikes a perfect balance between the psychology of addiction and having breakthrough in the power of the Cross. I purchased Pure Desire and it helps to understand the noose of addiction and that it is not only a spiritual battle, but neurological as well. The reality is that the majority of the problems we experience are merely symptoms. I literally ripped Every Man's Battle in half after getting pissed off at the suggestion to "bounce your eyes" when you see a beautiful woman. from Every Man's Battle to prayers regarding generational curses. Before this book, I tried everything to break through into purity. He gave it his best shot and said, "Lord, whatever the hell You want us to do, we're ready." Ted has since grown in the Lord and pastors a church which helps others break new strides into purity. They asked him to close in prayer at the end and he had never said a prayer in his life. It's definitely a diamond in the rough! Ted Robers, an ex fighter pilot who fought in Vietnam starts off with a story where his wife recently became a Christian and invited him to their all woman's bible study. I'm surprised this book doesn't have more reviews.
