Naked Surrender: Coming Home to Our True Sexuality

Review "Pastors will profit from reading Comiskey as they counsel and disciple others. It would be a good read for undergraduates as well." -- Jim Harris, Ph.D, LPC, Enrichment, Summer 2011"The book is easily readable--indeed, arrestingly so--thoroughly orthodox in its interpretation of the biblical teaching, yet warmly compassionate in applying it to the real needs of hurting and often abused and broken Christians in their struggles to live holy lives." -- Dr. Trevor Slammers, Evangelicals Now, June 2011 Would you like toembrace the God-given gift of sexuality?become free and stay free from sexual idols?be comfortable in your own body?love and value others, both in singleness and marriage?Help is here. Jesus sees our bodies as temples, houses where he wants to live. And no matter what we've done sexually or what's been done to us, he can reclaim us and make us his own. Whole. Healed. Pure. Andy Comiskey has walked the long road of sexual brokenness and pain and emerged a new creation in Christ, healed from the past. Through Desert Stream Ministries, he counsels and teaches people of all ages and situations to find sexual wholeness. In these pages he serves as your guide and companion, helping you see how deeply Jesus loves you and how relevant he is to your sexual identity. "God cares about what goes on in the temple," Andy writes. "He created the body and sexuality for holy purposes. His destiny for humanity involves our bodies!" What's more, God cares about you and your body, and he has healing for you through Jesus and through the body of Christ. Come, use your good, redeemable body to open these pages and walk the path of wholeness and hope. Review "We live in the midst of an oversexed society where sexual ethics are often defined by narcissism and a worship of 'sexual freedom.' Naked Surrender invites us to recognize that our sexual identity finds its fulfillment as we submit to the lordship of Jesus Christ. Andrew Comiskey uses concrete examples to challenge us to understand the complexities of sexual brokenness and to develop communities of mutual support so that we can develop healthy relationships that help us become who God created us to be. Through repentance, prayer and mutual support the author shows us how real people have found sexual wholeness in Jesus Christ." -- Juan Francisco Martínez, associate dean, Fuller Theological Seminary About the Author Andy Comiskey (M.Div., Fuller Theological Seminary) is the founder and director of Desert Stream Ministries. He previously served as pastor at several Vineyard churches. His books include Pursuing Sexual Wholeness and Strength in Weakness.
