Book Review of An Affair of the Mind: One Woman's Courageous Battle to Salvage Her Family from the Devastation of Pornography

reviewed on + 15 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


This book is about an extreme case of pornography/sexual addiction, and its affects on the author's family. The author's husband was so enslaved by porn and prostitutes, he could no longer function. He lied compulsively and repeatedly, abused his family, went nearly bankrupt financially, totally bankrupt morally, and almost completely insane. The author herself enabled him through her denial for many years.

This is an inspirational story about the author's struggles to face up to the truth about her husband, set appropriate boundaries to protect herself and her children, begin to heal, and slowly try to rebuild her marriage. The insanity and pain of living with an addict is carefully portrayed. It is written from a distinctly Christian perspective.
