PAH Book Club
All PAH members are invited to join our Summer Book Club!

Most book clubs cover a tome a month however, we will be covering
segments of a newly published book on the topic of sexual betrayal
that really resonates:
Shattered Vows: Hope and Healing for Women
Who Have Been Sexually Betrayed
by Debra Laaser. As you may have
already discovered, processing how porn addiction has affected your
life takes time. Rather than just reading the book, it is PAH's hope
that you will be able to mindfully assimilate the information and
guidance in this book into manageable and meaningful steps for your
specific scenario. At the end of each chapter, there are Thinking It
Over questions. We will be discussing these questions and the
solutions you have decided on to heal yourself and provide a solid base
for your partner's recovery.

Mark your calenders! We will be meeting in the PornAddictHubby.com Chatzy Chat Room
starting at 9:00 PM EST (6:00 PM PST) on the last Thursday of each month:

Book Description
This sensitive and practical guide offers proven tools that help women struggling with sexual betrayal make wise and empowering decisions.
Shattered Vows is inspired by the author's personal journey through betrayal, her extensive work with hundreds of hurting women, and her
intimate marriage two decades after the disclosure of her husband's infidelity.

From the Back Cover
Infidelity doesn't have to ruin your life or your marriage

If you have been devastated by your husband's sexual betrayal, whether an isolated incident or a long-term pattern of addiction, you need
to know you don't have to live as a victim. If you choose to stay in your marriage, you have options other than punishing, tolerating, or
ignoring your spouse; in fact, extraordinary growth awaits a woman willing to deal with the pain of her husband's struggles with sexual
purity. Even if a spouse will not participate in a program for healing, a woman who has been sexually betrayed can change her own life in
powerful and permanent ways.

This sensitive guide provides practical tools to help you make wise and empowering decisions, emotional tools to develop greater intimacy
in your life, and spiritual tools to transform your suffering. Debra Laaser's personal journey through betrayal, her extensive work with
hundreds of hurting women, and her intimate marriage two decades after the disclosure of her husband's infidelity provide meaningful
answers to the questions that arise amid the complex fallout of broken vows.

The pain endured from sexual betrayal can break your heart, but it does not need to break your life.
PAH's Take On The Book

In two words: Life Changing.
Shattered Vows is like aloe vera on a sunburn. Pick it up and it instantly helps take the sting away. Is it a cure all? No, you sill have to heal
yourself. But you expected that. The book rings true with an air of authenticity as the author experienced infidelity in her 20-year marriage
that even became front page news in their community. PAH is endorsing this book as it provides a road map for you to make the next best
decision, whatever your circumstance may be. That being said, there are a few aspects about the book that PAH would like to disclose:

  • Deb Laaser is a Christian author. If you are Christian, it is a perfect fit. If you are of a different religion or do not attend church on a
    regular basis, please do not let this put you off. While there are passages from the bible quoted and mention of God throughout, the
    main focus of the book is YOU - a woman in pain looking for healing.

  • The book is written as if you have experienced sexual betrayal. Betrayal can show it's ugly face through physical betrayal, such as an
    affair or inappropriate contact with another person, or emotional betrayal through the use and overuse of pornography. Your husband
    or partner may have gotten to the point of acting out - or he may be surfing for images online on a regular basis. For most women, the
    resulting emotional scars from their partner's addiction to porn is the same as if there has been a physical affair.

  • The book mentions husbands and spouses but does not address boyfriends or partners. Again, do not let this put you off. The
    emotional devastation and heartbreak remain the same.
Are you ready to declare this The Summer Of You?  This book will allow you to focus on the only person you can change - yourself. Get ready
to view your husband or boyfriend in a new way and eliminate your need for self worth from him. Get ready for empowerment, release and
freedom. Have the courage to order the book from Amazon and join the PAH Summer Book Club. By Fall, you will be stronger, wiser and
ready for anything that life may throw your way.
