Ao visitar sites pornográficos, admirar fotos em revistas eróticas ou despir com os olhos uma mulher diferente daquela com a qual estabeleceu uma aliança diante do Senhor, o homem comete o pecado do adultério, mesmo que não leve nenhuma outra para a cama. Chamados por Deus para viver o sexo em sua forma mais pura — através do casamento —, muitos cristãos (inclusive líderes de igrejas) estão fazendo pouco caso de um problema com potencial para destruir casamentos e ministérios. Esta denúncia dá o tom de A batalha de todo homem, um sucesso de Stephen Arterburn e Fred Stoeker que ganha uma nova edição, totalmente revisada e atualizada para refletir recentes descobertas científicas importantes para este assunto. Com a autoridade de quem já passou pelo mesmo tipo de experiência e superou com fé, convicção e disciplina, os autores mostram que um simples olhar ou pensamento pode ser suficiente para levar um homem a quebrar os laços de santidade que o unem à sua esposa. Arterburn e Stoeker fazem uma análise franca e sem rodeios sobre o tema, não apenas mostrando a realidade do problema, mas também sinalizando com soluções para que o homem de Deus controle seus olhos, sua mente e seu coração e seja capaz de resistir à tentação, recuperando a dignidade de sua união com a única mulher a quem deve dedicar toda atenção, estima, carinho, amor e desejo: a própria esposa.
