Healing Wounds of Sexual Addiction is a good book for the layperson who may be struggling with a sexual addiction who desires to understand about his or her addiction. The big picture perspective Lasser provides will help begin the healing process. This book is a must for pastoral counseling and those who will be working professionally with those who need guidance to overcome their addiction.
Lasser is honest from the beginning as one who has walked the road of a sexual addiction. Then Lasser is authentic and humble by stating that it is ok to disagree with his writing because this is based upon his observations over the years working with sexual addictions. This approach is rarely seen in books to be honest and introspective about his or her own journey and then to be humble enough to realize not everyone will agree with all of their points.
The book is composed of four sections. What is sexual addiction? The roots of sexual addiction. Healing the wounds of sexual addiction. Healing the wounds of the church.
The one thing Christian counselors need to focus in on is defining the difference of a disease and sin. These are not the same nor will they ever be the same. Sexual immorality has been around since the beginning of time and this is clearly laid out as a sin throughout the Bible.
Lasser has more books about concrete tools to overcome sexual addiction, this however needs to be required reading to understand a big picture perspective about sexual addiction in religious communities.
