NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- R.E. Mauck, a Missouri native, avid long-distance runner, accomplished martial artist, and widowed father and grandfather, has completed his new book "Church Bells and Train Whistles: How Addictions Such as Pornography Can Drown Out Life's Most Precious Sights and Sounds": a candid account of his own decades-long battle.
The author writes, "Pornography is a pandemic that has hit the human race as fast as the world wide web has spread. Over two-thirds of the entire male population, one-third of females, and over one-half of persons involved in pastoral care are afflicted with some form of this devastating disease. Peddlers of flesh and perpetrators of porn have grown their disgusting tentacles into every facet of life, which is eating away at the very core of our being.
Men, women, and children of all ages and in all walks of life are finding themselves addicted to the lusty images which are prevalent on our phones, iPads, laptops, desktops, etc. and far too accessible to be easily ignored. They arrive in our email inboxes with innocuous subject titles such as 'Lonely', 'I missed you', 'Want to text', 'Let's have some fun'. You are one click away from a life-altering decision that may affect you and your entire family in an irreparable way.
One minute you're living a normal life, and with one click of a mouse or push of the reply button, you are suddenly entangled in a web that was previously unheard of. You have become addicted just as certainly and as strongly as that of an alcoholic, a drug addict, or a gambler spinning out of control.
How could this happen to me, or you? How does this happen every day to otherwise normal people?
In this book, we will see how one man's life was altered at a very young age and became a lifelong struggle to regain control over his destiny. What could happen at age eight, ten eighteen, twenty-eight that would contribute to the debilitating disease that is porn addiction? Books that he had read, movies that he had watched, seemingly normal life that he was leading was all a lie. A constant battle to cover up for his addiction. How would it affect his wife, his children, his friendships, his jobs, and is there anything that he could have done to avoid it? Is there anything that he can do to escape from it?
Reb is not the only one who has, and is, suffering from the clutches of this evil disease. He is simply the one that opened up and was willing to share his story. We hope that it helps you or your loved ones to have a better understanding of this addiction."
