Have you ever felt like sexual struggles define you, weighing you down with guilt that no one else could understand? You're not alone, and Unwanted by Jay Stringer meets you right there with kindness and real answers.
Most books on this topic skim the surface, but Unwanted dives deep. Drawing from original research involving over 3,800 men and women, Jay Stringer reveals why we make self-destructive choices. It's not just willpower—it's often tied to abandonment in childhood, unresolved trauma, exposure to the sex industry, or even violence. These aren't abstract ideas; they're patterns that show up in real lives, explaining the pull of pornography or addictive behaviors.
What sets this book apart is its gentle approach. Stringer doesn't shame; he understands. You'll explore how to love yourself again, set healthy boundaries, and repair relationships through honest conflict. There's practical guidance on building community and investing in repair—things that stick because they're rooted in clinical evidence and a Christian lens that sees hope in brokenness.
Imagine reading a chapter on trauma's impact and suddenly connecting dots in your own story. Or learning to navigate healthy sexuality without the old triggers. Readers rave about it: Dan Allender calls it the best on broken sexuality, and folks from Pure Desire Ministries say it brings stunning freedom from shame.
Whether you're wrestling personally or supporting a friend, Unwanted equips you. Picture using its insights in counseling sessions, small groups, or quiet evenings reflecting. It answers questions like: How do I break free from porn's cycle? What if abuse shaped my desires? How can faith play a role without feeling judgmental?
