Often Christians who struggle with sex addiction live the
ultimate "Jekyll and Hyde" existence, being active in their church
communities even as they hide their addiction. The Christian
church, in general, struggles to address issues of sexuality in a
non-shaming way, which further supports the hidden nature of the
addiction. For these men and women, spirituality and sexuality have
become compartmentalized. Recovery, then, must involve the
integration of healthy spiritual beliefs and practices with healthy
sexuality. "Shadows of the Cross" used in conjunction with Dr.
Patrick Carnes's book "Facing the Shadow" will provide a roadmap
for this healing journey.
"Shadows of the Cross" provides an early spiritual focus to
recovery while addressing issues of sexuality in a non-shaming way
using Biblical scripture to encourage long-term recovery." Shadows
of the Cross" offers unique guidance on spiritual practices such as
Christian meditation, contemplative reading, solitude, confession,
study, and prayer. This book was written specifically for the
subset of those in recovery who self-identify as Christian.
