What it is

Dr. Ted Roberts, a former Marine fighter pilot who became a pastor and then a counselor, wrote the book that launched everything else with his name on it: Pure Desire Ministries, the Pure Desire Groups and the Conquer Series all descend from this material. His argument combines brain science — how compulsive sexual behaviour actually forms and holds — with a direct challenge to churches that have watched millions of people trapped in this and responded with silence. It works both as an explanation for the man in it and as a call to action for the leader watching. Published by Regal. If someone is considering a Pure Desire group, this is the underlying framework; if a pastor is considering the Conquer Series, this is the reasoning behind it.
