What is Reddit's opinion of Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

What Father (above) said! You are beloved of God and nothing about your temptations and struggles changes His eternal love for you.

Overcoming sin in general and sexual sin in particular requires that we look into the occurrences of sin with the Lord and examine what we're really seeking. When we can identify the human and impulses desires behind the sinful acts, we can turn them to the Lord.

There's a book I'm reading that I'd heartily recommend titled: Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing. I'm about 2/3 of the way through and have been edified and encouraged by how the author guides readers towards meaningful & lasting healing.

In any case, I'll offer a decade of the rosary for you. Jesus loves you dearly and will never abandon you.

Self mortification isn't about distracting yourself from or punishing yourself for temptation. It is the taking on of voluntary suffering to draw you closer to the Lord.

At best, this is a stopgap measure. What is really needed is a careful examination of your desires and needs so that they can be placed before the Lord. Sexual thoughts and temptations are expressions of legitimate needs that have gotten twisted up and turned inward.

May I suggest 'Unwanted' by Jay Stringer? His book is an excellent guide to examining sexual struggles in this light and moving beyond the battle to victory in Christ.

Pick up a copy of Unwanted.

The author is a Protestant minister so from a theological perspective there's some questionable things in there, but the rest of it was very helpful for me on my journey.

People turn to habitual sin because they've been wounded somehow and they're trying to either undo it through their behavior, or else re-create the original wound over and over again because they believe that they're garbage and they deserve it.

If you want to get out of the place you're in, you need to first understand what brought you there. Pray for the wisdom to see how you were wounded and the courage and patience to overcome those wounds.

Pick up <em>Unwanted</em> by Jay Stringer.

Problems with PMO, soliciting prostitutes, having affairs, etc. can often have their roots in unaddressed psychological problems.

I read his book a while back and I've only relapsed 3 times in the past ~240 days. Tomorrow will be 4 months free from PMO for me.

It’s actually not a pdf but a book. I bought it through the Apple book store but it’s available elsewhere. Here’s the link to Amazon where you can read the description and also a sample. https://www.amazon.com/Unwanted-Sexual-Brokenness-Reveals-Healing/dp/1631466720. I’ve really enjoyed it so far.

It's not required. 'I looked at pornography [X] times' is sufficient.

A question that is helpful to ask one's self is 'what am I looking for?'. Sin pretends to fulfil a desire of our heart. Once the sin is forgiven, the next step is to discern what we desire and turn to God (instead of the old sin) to receive fulfillment.

For anyone struggling with sexual sin, I recommend Jay Stringer's book Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing

Check out the book Unwanted By Jay Stringer. The most insightful book(other than the Bible) that I have ever read.

Stringer is a Christian therapist who specializes in unwanted sexual behavior.

I can't speak more highly of Jay Stringer's book, Unwanted. Seriously has changed how I go about battling this addiction. I bought the audio book and have listened to it at least 4-5 times.

I'll recommend another pair of great books.

Unwanted by Jay Stringer and

Soul of Shame by Curt Thompson

Both of these are excellent, but it is the Spirit who changes the affections of our hearts so that we desire less of sin and more of God.

I found that asking the Holy Spirit to remove my desire for sin in the midst of temptation was the real game changer in my struggles.

I would recommend reading Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing by Jay Stringer. It's a good book that explains how psychological factors can influence unwanted sexual behavior, and it does this through a Christian perspective regarding human sexuality. Full disclosure, I am not benefiting from the sale of this book, I just thought it was a really interesting read.
