Pure Life Collection (12 vols.)

Deep beneath the cop’s badge he wore, Steve had a dark secret. Behind the arrogant exterior was a man obsessed with the triple-X rated underworld. In this autobiography Gallagher describes himself as nearly insane with paralyzing fear, devilish pride, and seething bitterness. he was unsure if God could really bring something good out of a life so ravaged by sin. Out of the Depths of Sexual Sin is the riveting story of a man who courageously battled his way out of deep darkness to help found Pure Life Ministries, helping other men gain freedom from the bondage he was once in.

Steve tells his story to testify to the fact that God can transform the most wretched life into one of decency. In it he shares his deepest struggles and most humiliating failures. Knowing others, too, have had similar experiences, Steve wants them to know there is a way out, through Jesus Christ. It is his hope that in reading his story God will bring those who suffer, like he once did, out of their despair and bless them with a life of joy and freedom.

Steve reminds us that living a victorious life is possible when we tap into God’s great storehouse of mercy for our needs, and then act as a conduit for that power toward others. Real victory occurs not only when someone overcomes habitual sin, but when a person becomes a tool in the hands of God. The message of this book is that you need not settle for a fear-driven form of freedom when an abundant life of victory in Christ is yours for the taking. Steve hopes with this book to incite Christian men to dig deep, rise above compromise and experience the fullness of God’s mercy as they pursue purity in him.

The apostle Paul tells us that a person given over to wanton pleasure is dead even though alive. Kathy and Steve Gallagher reveal that sexual sin is not strictly a man’s problem, but that statistics indicate the problem among women is much more widespread than anyone might have imagined. The desire to connect with someone emotionally, the indulgence in romantic fantasies, the craving for male attention, and the ever-present godless influences of the media have all combined to create what has quietly become a spiritual epidemic in our midst. Create in Me a Clean Heart addresses the unique issues that the struggling woman faces, offering a clear-cut path to freedom.

Behind every husband enslaved to sexual sin is a woman reaping the horrible side effects of his self-centered lifestyle. When his Secret Sin Breaks Your Heart is more than an emotional look at a painful subject—a wife’s devastating discovery that her husband has a secret obsession with pornography and/or other women. Kathy Gallagher has been there; she understands the pain of rejection, the feelings of hopelessness, and the questions that plague a hurting wife. In this collection of letters, she imparts heart-felt encouragement by providing practical and biblical answers based on real-life testimony. She not only sympathizes with the emotional turmoil wives experience, but more importantly, she directs them to their only true source of hope: Jesus. Included is a 30-day journal offering wives a place to prayerfully reflect upon Kathy’s letters.

How deeply in love with the world has the Church—Christ’s body—become? Is it difficult in today’s world to tell the difference between a Christian and a nonbeliever by watching their lives? Jesus told us that love would wax cold for him in the last days. he wasn’t talking about the unbeliever; he was talking about those who claimed to be his followers. Paul warned us that in the last days believers would love money, pleasure, themselves, more than God. James refers to those Christians who love the world as adulterers.

Intoxicated with Babylon is the result of Steve’s extensive study of the book of Revelation. In it he addresses the fact that, at this crucial hour, the Church is corporately approving “a powerless form of religion that tolerates an impotent blend of Christianity and heathenism.” Modern Babylon is not a place, but a spirit, a mindset, an attitude that has infiltrated the pulpits, pews, bookstores, and homes of many Christians. Armed with a vast array of worldly charms and enchanting indulgences, Babylon has deceived believers into exchanging a vibrant life in God for the empty shell of powerless religion. This book is a sobering voice calling out to a slumbering and sensuous Church to return to holy living.

Is it possible for a Christian man to maintain a pure heart in America’s sexually charged culture? Can he truly honor God with his thought life? The answer is a resounding yes. At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry is a thorough and incisive examination of sexual sin, revealing its inner workings which the author understands, having lived in the bondage of it himself for over 12 years. Steve provides spiritual keys and practical, biblical answers in this timely book, pointing the man to Jesus Christ as the ultimate answer to his problems. It is possible to put an end to the mystery of lust and step into a life of freedom. This revised and expanded edition offers fresh insights from 20 years of counseling, plus two new chapters that tackle Internet porn and the eroding morality of America.

Those who attend Pure Life Ministries commit to a six-month program, where they are taught scriptural principles of Christian lifestyle through in-depth Bible study, intensive prayer, supportive fellowship, and one-on-one counseling. But the facilities are limited to how many applicants they can take at any given time. It was for this reason Steve wrote A Biblical Guide to Counseling the Sexual Addict, to provide a practical Biblical model for churches and counselors who minister to people engrossed in sexual sin.

This book, written for pastors, ministers, counselors, and lay leaders, is not one of theory, but the result of proven successful practice as demonstrated at the Pure Life Ministries campus. Laying aside pop psychology and excuses of unmet needs and childhood trauma, PLM insists that a pure life is accomplished by the powerful work of the Holy Spirit and a submission to the Scriptures. Using the fundamentals of Biblical counseling as they relate to sexual sin, Steve shares specific areas where these principles can be applied. For instance, helping young people deal with the temptations they often encounter. Or supporting the wife who has been devastated with the discovery of her husband’s infidelity. Or when ministering to the homosexual or confronting a pastor who struggles with pornography and other sexual sins. In the final section of the book Steve shows how to begin a ministry of support for those who have fallen into sexual idolatry.

Are there some Christians you know that appear to enjoy favored status with God? Isaiah tells us that God esteems or looks upon the person who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at his word. Before someone can come into intimate contact with this Holy God, he or she must first be purged of the pride that dwells deep within all of us. It is this terrible sin that exalts itself against God and keeps him at a distance. Steve has written this book as a roadmap to show the difficult but rewarding way out of the pit of pride and into the “green pastures of humility.” Humility is the key that opens the door into the inner regions of intimacy with God. Irresistible to God unfolds the mystery that God is indeed drawn to the one who is crushed in spirit, broken by his sin, and meek before the Lord and others.

In 1950s America, when decency, honesty and morality were purportedly the way of life, seeds of corruption were quietly being sown by a handful of evil men. Within two generations, homosexuality became commonplace and pornography a national pastime. Clearly, America has lost her innocence! How did this happen? Why did America become so engrossed in explicit sexual sin within four decades? In How America Lost Her Innocence, Steve Gallagher vividly tells the story of a handful of chosen individuals through whom Satan found a way to influence an entire nation for evil. The result is not only historical, but a spiritually insightful uncovering of the unseen forces behind America’s sexual revolution.

This video concentrates on God’s answer to habitual sin: repentance. People become addicted to sin because the human heart is prone toward evil. One may try all kinds of things to break bad habits, but only through true repentance—the complete upheaval of the old way of thinking—can one break free to a renewed relationship with God. The process of breaking free from habitual sin is outlined in this video with personal testimonies of men who have attended Steve’s seminar

Those trapped in habitual sin are often riddled with insecurities, which can have a paralyzing effect on their lives. Steve admonishes that few of us recognize insecurities as the blight of pride. On the surface the connection seems impossible, but feelings of rejection, defense mechanisms and the fear of others are all embryos of pride, lurking behind the false exterior of insecurity. It’s not until we identify our insecurities for what they really are that we will be able to begin walking in victory over them. In this video, Steve unfolds the truth about our insecurities, and how to allow the Lord to dismantle those crippling defense mechanisms that keep us from the abundant Christian life.

Freedom from the grip of sexual lust seems so elusive to many. They have yet to understand true repentance and the life-altering change it can produce. If you are hungry to experience the joy of living free, this video, filmed at World Overcomers Church in Tennessee, will help guide you there.
