With both candor and sensitivity, Laurie Hall relives the nightmare that nearly destroyed her family, warning others of porn's seductive, addictive nature. She opens her heart and bares her soul, imparting keen insights and comfort. And she shares the hard lessons God taught her - among them, the virtues of patience, trust, and perserverance.

 | Help for the Hurting Jan 13, 2009 |
| If only I had read this book ten years ago. It truly has been an eye opener. For any woman having suffered through the pain and devastation of betrayal, this book shows you that you truly are not alone. A must read! | | | | Recommended reading for every man Sep 30, 2008 |
The author writes from the heart, avoiding superficialities, intellectualization and spiritualizing. Her journey has not been smooth or easy ... this is not a success story with a fairy tale ending. I have to disagree, however, with the reviewers who think it is too pessimistic and without hope. The progress seen by the end of the book (which is certainly not the end of the story) is marked and more representative of the healing in addict families than is a quick, happy ending.
Good insights on forgiveness, especially regarding the pain that it involves.
After reading this book, I found myself wondering whether it should be required reading for pre-marital counseling. Given that the problem is so prevalent, would earlier awareness of the issues promote their resolution before the sexual addiction and family patterns cause such destruction? | | | | Very helpful for those affected Jul 23, 2008 |
I can tell you the stories here are real, sadly from first hand experience of a similar situation. I was totally unaware of the extent of the addiction until it was in fact too late. But reading this, I reallized some of the most bizarre behaviors, where from his hiding the addiction. Her husband exhibiting startilingly similar behavior to that of my own spouse. It made me realize I'm was not alone in the struggle for a loved one, a losing battle, with devastating results. Pornography destroys lives and families, and is highly addictive.
I found this book extremely well written, and very helpful. It shows those of us affected are not alone, there are many of us losing the battle every day. | | |  | God's word has the real answers Jul 12, 2008 |
| I read this book nearly 10 years ago when I was dating someone who was addicted to porn. Although the book helped me to deal with my own hurt by finding someone who understood my pain, in the end, focusing on my pain was a dead end. I wholeheartedly agree with the reviewer who shared that instead of turning to books or people, she went back to the Bible and of course to God. God's word is what helped me to overcome and make the right choices for my situation. I moved on and have no regrets. | | |  | A very dark book on a subjec that needs more light Apr 23, 2008 |
| Many "amateur experts" have raived about Laurie Hall's writing from her personal experience. Some have added this book to their own website recommended list. However, I find her story very dark and shows little hope for wives suffering from the affiar(s) of an unfaithful husband. This book puts a lot of unneeded fear into the reader's mind when there should be some glimmer of hope or reconciliation with a fruitful ending. If anyone reads this book, their spouse better be ready for a lot of "over the top" emotions, anger and questions. Some of those questions are justified, no doubt. But, this book is very unsettling and I do not suggest anyone new to their spouse's affair read this book unless they want more burdens put on a marriage that is already shaky at best. Even a very strong relationship with the reader's Heavenly Father may not provide much healing after reading this one sided story. | | | Write your own review about An Affair of the Mind
