Pure Desire - Ted Roberts

A review of this book was compiled by:

Eugene Marais

A summary of this book:

There is a battle going on. Millions of victims are trapped in the struggle of sexual addiction with no apparent way out. Pure Desire tries help find an answer to this desperate cry for help from men and women who have tried to build sexual holiness into their lives and failed...and failed...and failed. This book is also for the shattered souls of mates who are puzzled, shamed, and wounded by their husband's or wife's sexual bondage and secret life. And this book is for the Church to come alongside those who have come to them for help.

What did you like about the book?

The author is very honest about his own shortcomings and failures and uses it to help the reader understand how things work with fighting for purity. It's not just a book with a list of 'how-tos' but really gets to deeper heart issues.

What did you not like about this book?

The last couple of chapters went a bit off track in terms of relevance and perhaps a couple of areas of Biblical interpretation that weren't 100%, Bot nothing seriously worrying.

Who would benefit most from reading this book?

Any adult would benefit. Definitely not just single people.

Do you recommend this book?

Yes, without reservation!
