About this ebook
In this book Marnie C. Ferree offers a unique resource for women struggling with sexual addiction. Taking her book's title from the parable where Jesus extends grace to the woman caught in adultery, Ferree bravely shares her own story of sexual addiction, recalling her years of shame from living a double life and the moment when she ultimately had to tell the truth. But more than just offering her story as a hopeful example of God's transforming power, Ferree distills her clinical expertise on female sexual addiction accessibly and gently, providing a much-needed resource for women struggling with any degree of relational or sexual addiction. Ferree details the roots of addiction in family trauma and offers clear-eyed advice as both a counselor and a "grateful recovering sex addict" on how to achieve sobriety and healing. Written by a counselor who understands the condition from the inside out, No Stones offers practical help for those battling sexual addiction. It also includes a specific chapter for anyone in close relationship with an addict, whether a spouse, family member, or friend, who wants to come alongside women as they seek help. Important for pastors and church leaders, this book will also be a much sought-after resource for Christian counselors and therapists counseling women who grapple with this type of addiction.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I admit it, I was afraid to buy this book.I saw it on the shelf at the Christian book store, and I just couldn't believe my eyes. A book about sexual addiction? For women? At the Christian book store? And then I saw the author photo, and I knew.... I. Must. Buy. This. Book. If for no other reason than to make a statement.I carried around for an hour. What would the clerk say? What would the clerk THINK? Why did I care?I bought it.This is a fabulous book. It's engagingly written and I could hardly put it down. As soon as I finished it the first time (in less than twenty-four hours), I started right back in for a second. It has just the right mix of clinical information, case studies, anecdotes, backed up with solid, non-judgmental, factual information on not only identifying sexual addictions, but recovering from them.Even if you don't need this book, read it. There is going to be someone in your life, at some point, who you know will need it. Then, instead of throwing stones, you can give her this book.
