Men, you can make sexually sane choices! Written for Christian men struggling with any form of sexual brokenness, Sexual Sanity for Men: Re-creating Your Mind in a Crazy Culture by David White helps men understand that sexual sin starts in their minds and hearts. It shows them how knowing Christ breaks their chains, builds spiritual brotherhood, and helps them take practical steps to re-create their minds in a God-focused direction.
The Sexual Sanity for Men workbook is ideal for one-on-one mentoring, college age discipleship groups, and men's small group study and is produced by Harvest USA, a ministry bringing the truth and mercy of Jesus Christ to help men, women, and families affected by sexual struggles and sin and equip churches to minister to sexually broken people. The accompanying Leader's Guide is available in an eBook format.
"No aspect of postmodern life is more broken than our sexuality. Nothing brings more wholeness to broken sexuality than the gospel of Jesus Christ. No ministry is more helpful in applying the grace of the cross and the empty tomb to broken sexuality than Harvest USA."
Phil Ryken, DPhil, President, Wheaton College
"Harvest USA is a time-tested ministry that changes lives with the gospel. They know how to speak the truth into your life with gentleness and love. Their skills and expertise have never been more needed by the church."
Timothy Keller, DMin, Senior Pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York, NY and author of The Reason for God
"It's about time somebody said it and said it this way! This is a book that will transform a very difficult and painful subject into a walk of faith and faithfulness that will bring joy, release, and praise. Not only that, the Leader's Guide is incredibly helpful, practical, and profound. Give this (and the Leader's Guide) to every guy you know even if you have to wrap it in a plain, brown paper wrapper."
Steve Brown, Key Life radio broadcaster; author of Three Free Sins: God Isn't Mad at You
"I know of no resource that is written to help men who are struggling with sexual sin that is more soundly biblical, drenched with the gospel, and practical at the street level. I am thankful that this resource now exists and will recommend it again and again. Here is a welcome for men to come out of the hiding, to embrace that there is nothing that could be revealed about them that hasn't already been covered by the blood of Jesus, and to believe that God has given them every grace that they need to fight the battle with sexual sin."
Paul David Tripp, President, Paul Tripp Ministries; best-selling author
"'Line upon line and precept upon precept' (Isaiah 28:10, 13) is the searchingly fresh approach David White has taken in writing both the book and the accompanying leadership guide. Rather than highlighting a representative collection of truths applicable to this life-and-death struggle for sexual sanity, David White seeks to build, from foundation to roof, a theologically thorough and helpfully profound approach to this dimension of fighting the good fight in the Christian life. He has given me and, I trust, all who read and work through this material, substantive help. Thank you, David."
Joseph V. Novenson, Senior Teaching Pastor, Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church, TN

This is a fantastic resource for men who are struggling with sexual sin or just flat out losing the battle. I was very skeptical the first time I read it and had a hard time getting through it, but it helped me immensely years ago. I revisited it recently to see if it was still a good resource and I think it holds up.

Thoroughly enjoyable. As the book is intended to be engaged in a group setting, I highly recommend picking this up with a couple of Christian brothers, whether struggling with sexual sin or recovering and go through this. David White targets more than the surface level action of engaging in sexual sins but digs deep into the root issues that plague our souls. Why do we engage in such shameful acts? Why do we give so much of our time, energy, and money to such a lifeless pursuit? Sometimes, there's something in our heart we're trying to fill no matter what, and rather than find out where that hole came from (trauma, abuse, neglect) we're too busy numbing the pain with alternative means. Sexual Sanity for Men: Re-Creating Your Mind in a Crazy Culture decides to dig at that very issue, and rather than tell you to stop engaging in such heinous acts it begs the question, "Why do you keep doing this?" (Of course, it also tells you to stop!) I can't really explain the experience this book has had on me apart from life-giving. As it orients my gaze from the pain I endured as a child toward the all-encompassing compassion of Christ, I can tell you without a doubt that this book is the most effective, efficient, and powerful book I've read in the fight against sexual sin. It distills passages from Scripture you would have never expected and targets your pride, pain, guilt, shame, and sin in profound and efficient ways. Get this book. Read it. Discuss it. And humble yourself to the reality that you're not alright. Trust me, it's soooooo refreshing to trust the Lord and the Lord alone!

Harvest USA seeks to bring the truth and mercy of Jesus Christ to individuals and families affected by sexual struggles. One way is by providing resources that address biblical sexuality to individuals and churches. Toward that end I was delighted to find their workbook, "Sexual Sanity for Men: Re-Creating Your Mind in a Crazy Culture" crafted by David White, Director of Discipleship at Harvest USA. It is written with busy men living crazy-busy lives in mind. "Sexual Sanity for Men" is a 288 page manual ideal for individual devotional work, as well as a small group resource. It covers five days of material each week, that lasts a total of 14 weeks. Each day is a short biblical study that is wedded to three or four reflection questions with loads of space to write down answers and prayers. White takes fellow-travelers from life in the wasteland and exile, to meet the conquering king, over to the band of brothers, and then up the trail of transformed living. For men who want to continue to play the game and lie to themselves and others that "Hey, I've got this," they will find the book embarrassingly candid, asking questions about behaviors most men want to hide. For others who are finally done with the game and desperate for Jesus to break them free, they will find hope and honest help. I appreciate White's frank assessments at the beginning, "All sexuality is broken, on some level" and so, "no matter how diligent you are, please realize at the outset that you will never be free from the battle in this life" (2-3). It may appear to some that this conclusion is hopeless, but the reality is that the author's awareness is far more helpful than the triumphalism that expects immediate holiness and absolute release. Rightly, our Lord brings us true freedom through his death, resurrection and ascension, but until he returns that "freedom is not total deliverance from temptation, which is what we wish for. Freedom is the increasing ability to chose holiness out of love for Christ despite the relentless temptation" (3). This volume is for any man, and especially for any man ready to grow more sane in a sexually insane world. I highly recommend the book.
