Book Review: “The Healing Choice”

When I started this blog, the last thing that I thought I’d be posting (except for porn) would be book reviews. Those of you who know me well are probably more baffled than I am about the appearance of book reviews on moreron.com. I got invited to be a part of blog tours for some book releases, and I figured I’d go for it. Either I’d expand my horizons a little and start reading something other than technical documentation, or my wife would get a new free book to read.
So today I’m posting a review of a book called “The Healing Choice” by Brenda Stoeker and Susan Allen. This is a book that’s written for women, but I read it myself because it has to do with moving meyond betrayal when a husband has a sexual addiction. Since I spend my days protecting children and families online, the subject matter here got my interest.
The book has two parts (aptly labeled “Part 1″ and “Part 2″). The first part is about a woman restoring her relationship with God after her mom dies. The second part is about restoring a relationship with an unfaithful husband. There are some interesting comparisons drawn between the two stories that I thought were very different turned out to be very similar when viewed from the eyes of the women in the stories.
Overall, I’d say this is a pretty good book. It’s definitely more for women, so guys probably shouldn’t jump to go read this one. And, ladies, I’d caution against reading it unless you’re in the midst of a struggle with God or unless you’ve got an unfaithful spouse. I could see how parts of Part 2 would make some women question every move their husbands make. That probably wasn’t the intent, but you might want to keep that in the back of your mind when reading this one. You can pick it up at Amazon.com here.
The publishers sent me 2 extra copies of the book to give away to my blog readers. If you’d like one, send me an email (ron-at-moreron-dot-com) and I’ll hook you up.
