But you will not be left without hope Curtis will help you learn to believe in the forgiveness of sins and Jesus's power to help turn away from sin and live for God's glory instead of momentary pleasure. God's grace and power is what you need to overcome the shame and guilt brought by porn use. His grace will catch you if you fail again, and his love will hold you fast as you seek to glorify him in every area of your life. You will see that true repentance and forgiveness will help both you and your wife move forward toward healing.

Endorsements:

"Redeem Your Marriage is refreshingly honest and compassionate about the difficulty of the sexual struggles men face. It's honest about how heavily porn impacts wives, as well as both the challenge and the real possibility of genuine and lasting change. Best of all, it comes from an author brave enough to be honest about his own struggle! I highly recommend it!"
--Alasdair Groves, Executive Director of the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF); coauthor of Untangling Emotions

"When I teach on human sexuality and its many perversions lust, pornography, masturbation, and more you'd think that students would cringe and clam up. Such is not the case, however. The biggest difficulty is knowing how to start the discussion. Curtis Solomon's book, Redeem Your Marriage, has been forged out of brokenness and is filled with gracious counsel. It's the ideal starting point for difficult discussions."
--Gregg R. Allison, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; secretary, Evangelical Theological Society; author of several books, including Embodied: Living as Whole People in a Fractured World

"The truth is that we all live in a terribly broken world, where men who should protect and care for their sisters instead use and abuse them for their own selfish pleasure. This is the way things are, but it's not the way things have to be. My brother, Curtis Solomon, knows about this brokenness he knows about it personally and he knows about it as a man who wants to help others find freedom, health, and holiness. Curtis's willingness to put himself out there in humility and to fight for holiness is breathtaking and I'm personally so proud to call him my brother. And I'm so thankful for this book. You will be too."
--Elyse Fitzpatrick, Coauthor of Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women

"The porn plague has gone on long enough! I am grateful that we are seeing more and more excellent resources meant to help men who have succumbed to it and wives who have been hurt by it. I am certain that this new pair of books by my friends Curtis and Jenny Solomon will serve many couples as they redeem and reclaim a marriage that has been harmed by pornography. Those who read these books will find them helpful, challenging, encouraging, and best of all, biblical."
