Our culture has become addicted to this thing called sex. Unfortunately, rather than countering the culture, the church has cowered behind standards that lack motivation for the people they are intended to care for. As a result, even the church is "Hooked" on sex. Drs. McIlhaney and Bush, both board-certified obstetricians, look at the effects that sex has on the mind.
When I first picked up this book, I was impressed with the amount of and quality of the research that went into it. But as it went along, it became clear to me that this was all the book had to offer. While numbers, facts, and figures are great, I found the practical elements of the book to be severely lacking. I found one section that was specifically devoted to practical solutions. In a future edition, I would love to see this part of the book expanded, even if it means bringing in a third author to add this focus. For now, I give 3 stars out of 5 for a well-researched book that needs more practicality to make it a winner.

The lies of Satan are a deadly thing. He specifically targets those who would choose to honour God and does what he can to make sure they don't. But he doesn't always create bold-faced lies to do this. He does this through the little lies, the lies that people will believe.
Throughout the eleven chapters of this instant classic, Robert Wolgemuth divulges 40 specific lies of the devil. Some of these lies are more common, while others may reside in the heart of a few. One thing is clear through all of them, however: a heavy reliance on God is the only way to survive this journey of life.
This book was so hard to put down yet so much to take in at one time. In my mind, this automatically makes it a classic of Christian literature already. When an author can point out truths in a way that makes one think, while doing it in a way that is intriguing, it is an incredible thing to see. 5 stars out of 5 easily!!
