Jill Suzanne Shook, Author/Editor, of Making Housing Happen

I didn't want to put this book down. It was engaging and surprisingly relevant to anyone. Yet, by listening to Townsend and Cloud on their New Life radio program, and hearing of the popularity of their "Every Man's Battle" workshop, I would have to sadly conclude that sexual addiction is more common than most of us think. One friend didn't know it was possible to be addicted to sex. And one pastor said the same. The awareness of this addiction and how it is destroying families must be raised as well as the hope of healing. This book does both. I found My Husband Has a Secret quite practical at the skill development level, for example, the how to's of active listening and why that form of communication is so essential. I have shared this book with a number of friends and some of my students. They have described it with words like "compelling" "empowering" "sad but hopeful." Others have wondered if this couple is still together after what they have gone through. I had the joy of speaking with Molly Ann, the author, and she and Timothy today enjoy a very strong marriage and their children all have a strong faith in Christ. God has obviously brought much healing to this family. This book is a witness of the power and love of God when God's principles for life are followed.

Empathetic, Caring, and Powerful

If you have experienced the betrayal of spousal infidelity then this book is a must. Miller's vulnerability lets you know that you are not alone in the pain of this type of experience. She also provides some powerful healing tools for taking responsibility for yourself and dealing with the many challenging family issues that come up. Miller writes openly as she shares her hurt, pain, faith, and hope. It is an easy and encouraging read.

Very insightful!

Though I have not experienced the particular problem that the book addresses, Ms. Miller's insights are clear and helpful in so many areas of life. I have worked on co-dependency issues for several years and grown a lot, but she has made certain recovery concepts more clear and simple than anyone else I have ever read!

HOPE AND HEALING ARE POSSIBLE

EXCELLENT BOOK, SO NEEDED , THE AUTHOR'S OPENNESS AND HONESTY IS VERY REFRESHING AND HELPS TO BRING HOPE TO A DISEASE THAT HAS ONLY BROUGHT SHAME AND MORE PAIN. HER COURAGE IN HER SITUATION, SEEMS TO HAVE BROUGHT A LOT OF GROWTH TO HERSELF AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY, WHICH IS A TRUE TESTIMONY OF HOW GOOD CAN COME OUT OF OUR PAIN WHEN IT IS FACED HONESTLY, AND GODS HELP IS SOUGHT. IBELIEVE THIS BOOK WOULD BRING REAL HELP TO ANYONE WHO IS SUFFERING AS A RESULT OF SEX ADDICTION. IT IS TIME TO TALK ABOUT SEX ADDITION OPENLY AND MOLLY CERTAINLY DOES THAT

A badly needed book

Not only is My Husband Has a Secret badly needed, but it's written with warmth. Molly Ann Miler handles this topic so well and the writing flows. Imagine what must feel like ke for a woman to married to a man nearly two decades and discovers his sexual addiction. I hope this books gets into many hands--especially those who love individuals with such problems. Readers never feel they're condemned or that she writes from a condesending tone.
