Many good men can (and do) go down the dark, inviting path of sexual promiscuity during their marriages. There is an Enemy of our souls that is waiting to put the right circumstances before us to trip us up.
This book gets into the life of a godly man who succombs to temptation. The inner turmoil is wonderfully written by this female author, who honors manhood throughout the book. The love of a good wife isn't always enough, which is apparent throughout the pages.

WOW! This book is incredible, although not for the faint of heart. Feldhahn wrote this novel with the goal of exposing the Sex Industry – i.e. pornography, prostitution, stripping. She also addresses the issue of judgmentalism in the Church. The story is basically three-fold: First, a 16 year old girl runs away from an abusive home with the noble goal of attending college to become a physical therapist. She begins work as a waitress in a strip club on 10th Street in Atlanta, and then eventually...more
This book is actually a pretty quick read and somewhat suspensely. Like more Christian Lit it is a little hokie and you can kind of see where it is going, but I like books like that and this one did not disappoint, no suprises. The good thing was that it reminded me ot the spiritual battles ongoing and reminded me of ways that I can show love to my wife. Definately worth the read.
I read this because I was so impressed by the author's book For Women Only, which, she says, she wrote after doing research for Tenth Street. As one who appreciates good fiction, this piece just didn't do it for me. The story line--evangelical Christian befriends stripper in order to "save" her--seemed shallow. The characters seemed hollow and predictable.
Het is een goed geschreven, spannend boek, dat een paar kwesties aan de orde brengt die in christelijke kringen vaan onbesproken blijven. Al is het 'preek-gehalte' soms wat hoog, heb ik het niet als storend ervaren. De verschillende halen zijn op een goede manier met elkaar verweven en komen uiteindelijk op een onverwachte manier samen, knap gedaan.
Feldhahn's The Veritas Conflict is one of my favorite books of all time but this one fell short. I have tried twice to complete it and given up. Will keep it on my shelf, however. Maybe someday...
This book shows both sides of the adult entertainment industry from a Christian perspective. It shows how we get sucked into sin if we are not on our guard at all times.
Excellent story. You need to read The Veritas Conflict first and then this one. You will love it. They are very good. I still feel that they should both be made into a movie.
Powerful story that everyone can and should relate to. A special message for men with great insight on how easy and destructive sexual sin is.
Took me a while to get used to the writing style. Didn't like it at first, but once I got into the story, I wanted to know the outcome and couldn't put it down. Thought provoking in the areas of angels and demons, spiritual warfare, power of prayer, good vs. evil. See various characters struggle with.development of faith: married man, wife/mom, single girl out on her own (stripper), pastor, mom newly converted Christian, Christian couples. Challenged me to learn more about angels and makes me wa...more
Good story about how a young woman could end up in the adult entertainment industry and her way out.

This is a difficult but very good book.
Excellent book. Since kids today have to grow up so fast, teenagers should read this. This is an intense read, so it took me longer than usual; but, it is well worth it.
It wasn't hard at all to get into this book real quick. Slowed down in the middle for me a bit. A little turned off at times by the church speak. But by the end there were a few times the story brought tears to my eyes. Loved that.
I liked it, but not as much as I liked The Veritas Conflict.

Not-too-hard read, about spiritual warfare, the power of pornography, forgiveness, and redemption in Jesus. It definitely made me reflect on our society and the messages it sends!
not as good as the first book (The Veritas Conflict) but still a good read...focused mostly on the growing problem of pornography in our society
This book is an incrediable story. Slow start but hold on and get to the end, it's worth it.
