Publisher's summary

Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing is a groundbreaking resource that explores the "why" behind self-destructive sexual choices. The audiobook is based on research from more than 3,800 men and women seeking freedom from unwanted sexual behavior, be that the use of pornography, an affair, or buying sex.

Jay Stringer's original research found that unwanted sexual behavior can be both shaped by and predicted based on the parts of our story - past and present - that remain unaddressed. When we pay attention to our unwanted sexual desires and identify the unique reasons that trigger them, the path of healing is revealed.

Although many of us feel ashamed and unwanted after years of sexual brokenness, the audiobook invites the listener to see that behavior as the very location God can most powerfully work in their lives. Counselors, pastors, and accountability partners of those who experience sexual shame will also find in this audiobook the deep spiritual and psychological guidance they need to effectively minister to the sexually broken around them.

Contains mature themes.

This book is absolutely, unbelievably next level!

I have not read a more transformational book on the topic of sexual brokenness. As someone who has dealt with pornography for most of his life (since the age of 11, now 23), I have not read a more impactful, explosive, revealing, compelling book.

I have taken this journey seriously for the past TWO years of my life and have read countless resources on the subject. When someone says a book is life-changing, they tend to exaggerate, I actually mean it. Jay has found a key, THE key to real true growth and freedom.

Genuinely, I am telling all my friends about this book, who together have strove toward sexual freedom. Jay so eloquently meshes the explosive power and truth of the Gospel and elements of the Christian faith with real, hard, scientific data, psychological evaluation, and personal accounts.

THIS Jay, I cannot thank you enough for your work!

Phenomenal Book

This book is insightful in pointing the reader to the healthy God given desires and needs that drive maladaptive behaviors. I find it helpful as a counselor but also a man and believer.

Deep

I believe this will take multiple listens but information resonates with me. The part about how some of my adult behavior is mirroring my childhood was revelational. Great book!

Excellent Approach!!

Sexual addiction is a complex topic! This book makes so much sense of so many complex points. If you are the one struggling, or if you want to help others, this is an awesome resource.

Must read!

This book has helped me understand my behavior, and will definitely be recommending this book to anyone I know dealing with unwanted sexual behavior!

Helpful

I have listened to a number of books on this topic and found Jays insights in recovery and his understanding of God’s relationship to sex to be very helpful and I believe it will contribute to healing.

thank you for the encouraging words in my journey

thank you for more thoughts and enlightment on this journey. i do appreciate it much.

A needed book

A needed book for anyone struggling with sexual brokenness. You don’t need to be a Christian to see it’s value.

Highly Recommend

The beginning moves slow in laying the foundation for the latter chapters but it is well worthwhile. When you get to the practicals Jay really connects the dots.

Enlightening

This book reframes the way to look at unwanted sexual behavior. It comes from a lens contrary to our modern Christian culture of shame, purity, abstenence, guilt, and unhelpful accountability. I recommend giving it a try. the points and methods have been successful for me
