At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry

I read "Every Mans Battle" and "Out of the Shadows." They may help a normal guy with regular temptation, but they did nothing for me. But in this book, Gallagher reveals his personal story of escape from enslavement to lust. He used the sacred scriptures to understand the truth about himself, sin, and GOD. My lack of self-control and obedience to God has destoyed two marriages. Due in great part to Steve's book, I now truly... Read Full Review

I basically fell head over hells into depression and I did not realize it until later on in my life. This is when I... Read Full Review

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... Read Full Review
