Hope After Betrayal: Healing When Sexual Addiction Invades Your Marriage

"After receiving devastaing news about my long-time boyfriend, I decided to purchase Hope After Betrayal for two reasons. One, I needed a Christian perspective, and two, I wanted an addict's perspective - Meg's recovering husband wrote the last chapter.

Hope After Betrayal encourages spiritual growth through faith, forgiveness, and grace. Meg has wonderfully explained the sometimes difficult task of staying focused on God by using descriptive and memorable images.

Most importantly, Meg describes what sexual addiction is and how it controls the one you love.

A must read for those of you wanting some peace after betrayal in your relationship.

"While this book makes some interesting points and has some good ideas for working towards healing I had a tremendously difficult time identifying with it because of how heavily it relies on the Christian faith. I am not a Christian and eventually had to stop reading the book because almost every page makes mention of Christ, Jesus, The Lord Jesus Christ and as a non-Christian it was distracting and difficult to take in the book. I am certainly not offended by this. However it is as much a theme of the book as sex addiction is and it just made the book completely unrelatable. Many other sexual addition books I have read, all actually, talk about a higher power which makes up a very important part of recovery and I embrace that wholeheartedly. "

"Meg is quick to point out that sexual addiction isn't about sex, and a sexual addict isn't just the guy you see on "To Catch A Predator." Sexual addiction has quite possibly visited the guy in the cubicle next to you at work or the pastor in your pulpit. Meg's book is about the redemption and restoration of a woman's heart that's been torn to pieces by her husband's bad choices. If you or anyone you know has been hurt by her husband's repeated use of pornography or other sexual activity, I would encourage you to take a look at Hope After Betrayal. One of the most amazing things about the book was that Meg's husband, Dave, wrote the last chapter. He encourages women that their husband's battle is truly his battle - and Dave gives these women permission to stop enabling. Hope After Betrayal is a powerful testimony of what hard work and the love of God can accomplish in a marriage when two people are willing to walk through the fire to reach for the purest gold."

"Meg Wilson's "Hope after Betrayal" is written in a way that any reader can understand the intent of the book. It is real. It is loving. It is insightful. It is a great resource. If you or anyone you know has a loved one engulfed in sexual addiction, make Meg's book THE book to read for help that goes beyond the norm."
