My review about the book “Every Man’s battle; Every Man’s Guide To Winning The War On Sexual Tempations One Victory At a Time.”

This beautiful book caught my attention because of the tittle. There’s a counterpart of it that is written to women tittled every woman’s battle but today we are looking at the men’s.

We know the battles and temptations men face in the area of sexual purity and faithfulness. This book is written to men of different backgrounds and calibers. From the single men to the married one, to the celibates and those looking to tie the nots with their heart robs.

The author started by explaining the battles and temptations that men in all spheres of life go through on their day to day life’s. Sometimes these temptations meets them outside and some other times, it comes right in front of their phones. A male friend of mine was lamenting to me about the amount of nude ads that pops up on his phone daily. It’s like the media is just determined to shove the concept of accepting nudity and sexual misbehaviors down their throats and that’s an object of concern.

The author answers the big question on “How men can keep themselves from all these sexual temptations? So the books deals on how men can win their sexual wars one step at a time through the stories and tips the author explored.

Key points from the chapters
Well, alot of men are struggling from sexual sins and knowing that you are not alone in this struggle would help open up the victim. The author told personal real life stories of other men whom he had come in contact with as a counselor over the years. These sexual temptations obviously affects professionals, religious leaders, business men, working class and even the so called faithful husbands are not left behind. Some of these men confessed to being addicted to pornography which they felt had put a crack in their marriages.

The stories buttressed the fact of the dilemma men face and the society had made it worse by saying that men are naturally polygamous, therefore they are helpless when dealing with sexual faithfulness but that’s not the way it should be.

The author continued to elaborate on the impact of sexual sins on the family, children and the entire relationship. It destroys the feeling of self worth and tear entire families apart. When these sins are discovered, trust is broken, the spouses are left broken and the children’s psychological healths are pushed into the mud. These children in the future become dysfunctional and also build dysfunctional homes.

The storied of regret that has been told by men who took the path in unchecked sexual escapades that finally led to their wounded emotions, shattered marriages and even the failures of their career have enough lessons to teach regarding the devastating effects of sexual desires not controlled.

So in this book he laid down the strategies that men can apply to gain mastery over their sexual desires and not be ruled by it but to get these steps working for them, they have to start with a desire to change. If a man does not make the decision to change, everything else that he would be doing would only be a waste of time as that decision is the foundation on which all other changes would happen in winning his battles against sexual temptations.

In conclusion, if you are struggling with many sexual battles or know someone who does, then this book is a must read, I give it a rating of 9/10 because of all the real life practical experiences that was stated in it. Finding out other men’s struggles and experiences and how they overcame is a good way to start the journey towards winning sexual battles and temptations for every man.

Thank you for reading through, till next time.
