In 2006 my first published book, The Invisible Bond; How to Break Free From Your S*xual Past was released by Multnomah Publishers. It was a journey that God started me on at Bayside Church in 2003 for my own healing, which then became a message He used for others. It's been quite an amazing journey. The cover on the left was the original cover that came out in 2006 since I was writing for men and women. In 2009 with my second book by Waterbook/Multnomah (now a division of Random House Publishers) Kiss Me Again, Restoring Lost Intimacy in Marriage, the publisher redid my cover for the Invisible Bond, since more women buy books.
Twenty years later, The Invisible Bond is still in print. That's a miracle! It's a miracle because, first, it's not a huge seller--as many people who struggle with shame, sexual abuse, trauma, past relationships, sexual intimacy in marriage, or sexual addictions, don't often seek healing, or it can take them decades to finally deal with it. It's also a miracle, because its been twenty years, and many books don't remain in print that long. I don't make much money selling books--honestly, unless you're selling hundreds of thousands of books, the compensation is small. But the blessing of hearing from people all over the world who have been impacted by this message of healing and hope more than compensates for the financial reward.
I just want to thank God today for twenty years of faithfulness with the message He asked me to give to others. It wasn't easy being vulnerable with my story, but the healing God did in my life that still follows me today is also a miracle--one that I am honored to shout from the rooftops.
If you have had sexual abuse, trauma, or past sexual relationships that are impacting you today in your relationships, or you are living with shame, guilt, regret that keeps you from walking in the forgiveness and freedom God has blessed you with, I encourage you to get a copy.
Maybe after twenty years--God is bringing it into awareness right now--just when you need it. Whether you're an older teen, young adult, single, married, man, woman or a church leader, this message is even more relevant today.
For those of you local, we have begun leading the Free; Finding Freedom and Healing from Your Past bible study for women at Bayside Church. Please message me if you are interested in joining our next class.
Please, if you have been impacted by this message or through Kiss Me Again, or my bible study on healing from your past, I'd love you to share in the comments. You too can allow God to use the healing miracle that He has done in your life.
Blessings my friends.
