Anything you do to ease the burden of
responsibilities weighing on an Acts of
Service person will speak volumes. The
words he or she most wants to hear are,
“Let me do that for you.” Laziness,
broken commitments, and making more
work for them, tell those with this
language that their feelings don’t matter.

about the bedroom. A person whose
primary language is Physical Touch is,
not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats
on the back, holding hands, and
thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulder,
or face—they can all be ways to show
excitement, concern, care, and love.
Physical presence and accessibility are
crucial, while neglect or abuse can be
unforgivable and destructive.

To Kill a Lion
, written by Bruce Lengeman, is designed
to help men find the roots of their sexual addiction. The
theme is, “Men cry out, ‘I know it is wrong, but why
can’t I stop!’” The book is for both counselors and
strugglers.
To Kill a Lion
will help men understand their
own sexuality and what makes it operate “out of
alignment” with God’s design. You’ll learn why it is
healthy to be sexual as a man, but in a pure and Godly
way. Though this book was not written for women,
many are reading it and getting understanding of things
they never knew about sexuality.
