Praise for Purity and Passion: I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who works with a range of clientele — individuals, couples, families and groups. My clinical focus is that of sexual addictions, and in particular, the influence of pornography on marital relationships. For the last several months, I have facilitated several therapy groups for women and men who are struggling with pornography's influence in their marriage. [This] book has been an invaluable resource and reference in this much needed work. I encourage couples to read it together and discuss how truths regarding marital intimacy have been distorted by pornography consumption. Many have commented on how useful the Appendix is, as it provides a concrete and specific listing of the ways God-ordained marital intimacy differs from that of the world's view. Many of the women I work with tend to blame themselves for their husband's pornography use. [This] book has been extremely validating and clarifying for this population. I have found it to help them see how their own spirituality and high standards are worth celebrating versus being undermined within the world's arena of sexual casualness. — Jill Manning, Marriage and Family Therapist
