Book suggestion: Game Plan by Joe Dallas

If you aren't familiar with Joe Dallas, he is a guy who lived the gay lifestyle, overcame it, and is helping guys now to overcome it and other sexual addictions. Though he is an ex-gay, or former gay....whatever you want to call him, this book deals with sexual addictions in general, homosexuality included. Game Plan, The Men's 30-Day Strategy for Attaining Sexual Integrity, is definitely worth buying if you struggle and are serious about getting help. I highly recommend it, and need to do it again some day.

Book description:
Men everywhere are under attack-your neighbor, your coworker, your pastor, even your
husband. And, even in Christian homes, 40% of men have fallen to this foe that can destroy marriages and ruin lives.


Who is this devastating adversary? Pornography. It floods our airwaves and PCs, assaulting the senses, and luring its prey to return again and again.

Drawing from seventeen years of counseling practice, and using material that he's taught for more than ten years, Joe Dallas is helping readers face this enemy. Equipping those who have been caught up in pornography or other forms of sexual sin with the ability to abandon that behavior and never return.

Using the acronym ROUTE-Repentance, Order, Understanding, Training, and Endurance-Dallas walks readers through the steps necessary to attain-and maintain-sexual integrity.

I couldn't find a good description of the book, and mine is in storage, so I can't remember everything about it, but it is designed to do in 30 days, and each day has questions and some activities you do. The book is great to do as a group or with someone else. I did find some of the work I had done saved on Word document, and am pasting some of the questions below to give an idea of what the book is like.


Day 2
1) What specific sexual sin is causing a crisis?

3)What effect has this behavior had on your relationship with God?
4)What effect has this behavior had on your self-respect?
5)N/A
6)N/A
7)Why have you continued in this behavior?

Day 4

2). Write whatever ways you’ve tried to cover up or hide your sin. What effect has this “covering up” had on your mind and confidence in general?
3). How do you think God has been trying to draw your attention to this behavior?


There is Scripture reading, and reading in the book to do. It is a very hands on book to help with sexual addictions, and the questions are designed to really make you think. It is for sale on Amazon as cheap as $2.49 right now, and is worth more than that.
