Every Man's Battle: Winning the War on Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time is a book written by Steve Arterburn, Fred Stoeker and Mike Yorkey about topics such as adultery, fornication, impure thoughts, lust, paraphilia, and pornography. It is a spiritual self-improvement guide for Christian men who struggle with overcoming the aforementioned tendencies, which are all perceived as acts that distance one from God.

The Decalogue includes a commandment against adultery (Exodus 20:14), of which Jesus Christ expounded upon during his Sermon on the Mount. In the Gospel according to Matthew, 5:27-28, he said, "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Therefore, in the literal interpretation of these verses most Christians understand Jesus' words to forbid even thinking of a woman lustfully or giving a woman a once-over. Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker, and Mike Yorkey composed Every Man's Battle in order to use their own failings and successes to help other men recover from sinful sexual practices and to restore their relationship with God.
