Eyes of Integrity: The Porn Pandemic and How It Affects You (XXXChurch.com Resource) Paperback – September 1, 2010

Craig Gross is founder and Pastor of xxxChurch. In his book he explains how pornography is a pandemic of the worst kind with NO vaccination. He brings to light some startling statistics and stories about the dangers and consequences of sexual immorality in media form today. His message is clear, if one is already sucked in get help quickly, if one is not yet sucked in then become openly accountable with others to stay that way.Those with the addiction should read this, those who want to help the addicted, read this, and those in danger of being addicted, you read it too.A simple easy read with some stories that will affect you and make you sad about the harm of pornography the world over.

An amazing book I think! It touches the very very important problem "Pornography" mixed with different very Disturbing facts. The way that Pastor David Cross writes is so simple and straight to the point. He mixes the whole book with a lot of personal testimonies and testimonies from other people that is really moving and hard to read about. In my own walk toward a more pure and real relationship with Jesus Christ I really felt like this book has helped me in many different ways. It's very important that we men stand strong for purity. I believe that this book should be handed out to churches and people who desire a pure life,vthis book as I see it should be a nessecity for all of us.Thank you Pastor David Cross and xxx Church

While I do find this book to help with porn addiction some what I am still waiting for a comprehensive action plan that does not require xxxchurch software. At times it felt as if this was a marketing pamphlet to sell their software. They even went as far as stating it as one of the tools an addict needs to stop their porn addiction. Seriously porn has been around for years and many people have quit before this software was invented. Anyway it's still a good read for anyone struggling with addiction of pornography.

Craig Gross and his team at xxxchurch are incredible, and this book along with their other books are a testament toThat awesomeness! They are about the "love ofJesus", straight up! I highly recommend this book and all others, you'll come out of it a better person regardless of your beliefs! Check them out on the web!

Quite an eye-opening book filled with message that God loves and is the only hope for those caught up in sexual addiction."There are those who have a heart for people involved in or going through very tough times. They are Christians , Pastors, and others who have compassion and desire to serve people facing life altering events. For instance, those working in Hospice Care, Prison Ministry, and other tough areas.Craig Gross is one these people. His ministry is speaking, writing, debating others in the porn industry. To focus your life and work on an area that should be addressed by the Church but often is not, such as sexual addiction and pornography, takes a special calling - a special kind of grace.I requested `Eyes of Integrity: The Porn Pandemic and How it Affects You' by Craig Gross of "FireProof Ministries" as research on a writing project. I am not sure what I expected from Craig Gross but I can tell you his heart is for those caught up in the porn industry.I am not sure I agree with many of his techniques such as going to porn conferences, and engaging others who advocate porn as a legitimate industry, some language used in many of his articles, and writing and speaking openly about sub-categories of the porn industry but I do not doubt his heart to reach the people caught up in sexual addition.This book is a wake up call to us all. It contains first a look at the issue of pornography by providing some eye-opening statistics. After reading that 47% of Christians actively engage in pornography, I looked at the congregation of my Church in a very different light knowing that books such as these are needed.The rest of the books focuses on accountability and stresses that sexual addictions cannot be overcome alone noting the two criteria needed: confess it to God and confess (and become accountable) to another. Also included are several resources that direct the reader how to identify a sexual addition, how to respond, where to seek help, and basically repeating the gospel that God is the only hope in overcoming sexual addiction.Included also is a CD resource with a video message from Craig Gross and an offer for the accountability software his organization has developed called SafeEyes.Disclaimer:The review copies of this book were provided free of charge by Baker Books and donated to the Celebrate Recovery Ministry and the Youth Ministry of Westwood Baptist Church.Reviewed by: Keiki HendrixReviewed for: The Vessel Project

This is a must read for everyone, not just someone who struggles with this issue! This isn't one of those books that goes on and on about how there is this great big problem that is destroying marriages and families and then never offers any answers or solutions. the authors do a great job of explaining how incredible the problem of porn is, but they also give hope through very practical tools that can be used to avoid and/or overcome a porn addiction! i especially like the fact that they give insights into helping others who are struggling. this would also be a great book to use for teaching/studying! read this book!

I recently picked this book up and was super impressed with it. The book is highly recommended to anyone seeking help for themselves or someone they know in the area of pornography. The book covers everything from "porn-proofing" your home to nurturing a marriage. I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to escape from the trap of porn and wanting a Biblical way out.

Arrived in good timing. Looking forward to reading.
