Sex, Food, and God: Breaking Free from Temptations, Compulsions, and Addictions

by David Eckman

People from all walks of life give in to temptations and adopt patterns of secrecy and shame. David Eckman reveals how appetites can dominate the lives of men and women, and addictions to sex, pornography, food, chemicals, and even work can take hold. This is a much–needed Christian look at fighting addiction that should be in every church and home. With research support and biblical principles, Eckman shares Readers will discover how to break the pattern of out–of–control desires and extend grace, not judgment, to those facing such struggles.

This book made a very clear (and I believe correct) case for the reason(s) behind addictive behavior. I read portions during the months that I took his class and then read the book from cover to cover after the class was over. I enjoyed reading it as I could imagine hearing David share these thoughts and stories with the class. I believe the book is best accompanied by personally hearing or knowing Mr. Eckman.

This book takes you on a spiritual journey, addressing any kind of addiction or compulsion, not just sex or food. I already know that it's the best book I've ever read on this topic...I'm only part way though the book.

The chapter on Paul's explanation on addictions is very insightful. I really like that chapter.
