The Concept

“Harness the River” was derived from the understanding of a classic Jewish source which describes ‘sexuality’ as a mighty river. If harnessed, it can bring irrigation and magnificent energy to countless communities. If unharnessed and out of control, it brings floods and destruction...At its highest use...in a Jewish marriage lived according to Jewish law — the sexual union brings holiness into the world as it bonds husband and wife together, spiritually, physically and emotionally. One of the central beliefs in Jewish culture is that ‘oneness’ in marriage is only achieved through sexual intimacy. All of the wonderful feelings a couple has in a relationship culminate in the physical intimacy that is shared between a husband and a wife.

Fred Stoeker,
co-author of Every Man’s Battle

and the co-author of the best selling Every Man book series. He is the founder of Living True Ministries and a conference speaker who has counselled thousands of men and married couples. Facing a moment of truth regarding his sexual purity a couple years after his wedding in 1981, Fred Stoeker is well aware of the battle men face with sexual sin. After stumbling upon his father's Playboy magazine under his Dad's bed in first grade, Fred struggled with pornographic materials for the next twenty years or so. Despite entering a committed relationship with Jesus Christ at age 23, Fred continued to struggle with pornography until his wedding the following year. He quickly found that marriage did not eliminate the problem and the negative effects of his sexual sin upon his intimacy with God and with his wife Brenda grew more each year.

He has co-authored numerous books including:

Every Man's Battle, Every Single Man's Battle, Every Heart Restored, Every Man's Challenge, Every Man's Marriage, Every Young Man's Battle, Preparing Your Son for Every Man's Battle and has written his 1st solo book Tactics
