What Repentance Looks Like: Successful Pick-up Artist Converts, Unpublishes His Books
Not a big deal? Think of the money he is giving up!
Wintery Knight – Many of you will know about a very successful pick-up artist named RooshV. Roosh has many written books about how to bed women in different countries. But something funny happened recently… Roosh converted to Orthodox Christianity (large O). I blogged about it, and I was very cautious, but also hopeful. Well, some time has passed since that first blog post, and there is some big news.
Read this from his blog:
In May of last year I unpublished 11 of my books because they were leading men directly to sin. That action was not enough. Today I have unpublished several more books, including my top seller Game, along with numerous articles, videos, podcasts, and forum postings.
The prospect of banning Game last May was too difficult, even though my conscience was bothered by the contents… It made sense to ban all my Bang books, which explicitly instructed men how to have casual sex, and it wasn’t that hard on my wallet since they were older books that had passed their sales peak, but if I were to ban Game as well, my income would be wiped out. I prayed on the issue, asking God to help me make the right decision.He explains that “Game” is a recent book that is his biggest source of income, but he didn’t like what was in it.
Please read the rest here.
Reading his blog is quite enlightening to see the power of God at work in one man’s life. God bless him.
“Think of the money he is giving up!”
Probably a lot more than just money.

Being the skeptic that I am, is it possible he is just trying to recharge a dwindling market for his books?
Isn’t this a bit like the mega-rich who have had their fun and money days, so they are now on the side of the little man and are now full on socialists?
That’s what God does, He changes the hearts of the ones whom He comes to dwell in. What we need to do is to recognize our need of Him and believe His gospel.
What does it profit a man to gain the world yet lose his soul?
Spiritual birth brings clear vision to eternal realities.
Which gospel did he believe? Nothing else matters as there are many plans of salvation in the world, yet all but one of them are false.
How do you ‘unpublish’ a book? The same way you unring a bell…
His most recent book, “Lady”, is excellent. It’s an instructional guide for women who want to get married on how to avoid pick-up artists like he was and to make themselves into marriageable women. I plan on giving it to my daughters when they turn 18.
@CombatMissionary — (love your screen name, btw)
I was just thinking that he would be an excellent and qualified writer for warning others of his insider knowledge.
And this is why we never cease in our prayers and petitions. To stop asking is often akin to thinking that God is not listening and caring. I struggle with God’s timing and sometimes I get angry at the suffering that seems unnecessary if God can “fix” things. Even though I know the wisdom of God’s timing, it still can get to me at times.
God bless this man. He’ll have his work cut out for him because the evil one hates it when that happens.
Get involved with things that you like and GET TO KNOW someone before you decide to sleep with them, and demand that they get a FULL HIV and other disease screening, use protection!
That is my 3 sentence advice for everyone, and I didn’t even charge any money. I mean, seriously, why sleep with someone first, and then find out your are totally incompatible and don’t even like the same things?
