Kevin! Wow! Thank you for writing this book! Thank you for telling my story!

Your email promoting the book came to me only days after the Lord's prompting me to deal with my sexual sins and secrecy became over bearing. I knew the Holy Spirit was stirring in me to step up - that I was in a very dangerous place having taken advantage of God's grace and mercy over and over again, sensing the "party was over" and God was ready to just allow me to wallow in my filth! Having already decided prior to reading the book that time was up, your story gave me the courage I needed to confess my sin (not to just God again but a brother I've been close to for nearly 15 years), repent and start anew.

I could so relate to your story having been a born again Christian since age 15, married 32 years and 3 kids, grew up in the church, I have always been plagued with my sexual addiction to pornography & masturbation and like you, vowed over and over to stop. Unfortunately and as you well know, I continually lusted for more. My behaviors got worse and progressed to the point where I was having regular homosexual encounters on a weekly basis, while attending church regularly, active in the men's ministry and serving on the worship team. Geez!

The amazing thing is that while all that was going on, God was still meeting my needs, providing for me in ways that often blew my mind, and for the most part, life around me was going well. I just wasn't able to live with myself! I was absolutely struck with the "Saved Soul, Wasted Life" portion of the title. Within seconds after reading those words, I was struck with the idea - that's me, I don't want to be that guy and that's exactly where I'm am! Your book helped to save my life!

For the first time in my life I have been able to tell all, shining a light on the darkness in my life that I had been so unwilling to release to God. Nearly 12 years ago having gotten caught by my wife after she figured out how to read my email, I then admitted and told only what I thought I needed to in order get past the current crisis in my life. Idiot! To bad the last 12 years have had so much wasted time in sensual indulgences! I'm 51 now and really don't want to waste the rest of my life! Finally I feel I'm in a place where I can rise above the trash and allow God to use me to the fullest.

Your book, your story, has definitely helped to save my life! Thank you so much for so candidly sharing your story. Finally, someone (that would be you) has had the you know what to get real and tell it like it has been and say what it's going to be like moving forward. I was impressed that while being separated from your wife, you are still married! My prayer for you is that your marriage will be revived. I know God would love nothing better and He can do it because I've seen it happen in my own marriage! I also would love to hear how your life has progressed since the publishing of the book.

Anyway, thank you again. Thank "Chik" for me! I feel as though I know you both!
