Beyond Betrayal

Sexual addiction and infidelity have reached epidemic proportions down under. This is not just the case in secular society, but also in the church, with 64% of Christian men admitting to using porn monthly. The result is devastation, not just to men's souls, but also their wives' hearts. And while betrayed wives have an excruciating road ahead of them, many are learning that God is faithful to heal... and even redeem.  
  
*Beyond Betrayal* interweaves the stories of betrayed wives - including the author's personal story - with the latest research on sexual addiction and partner trauma. That research includes the largest survey to-date of wives of sex addicts - a study conducted specifically for this book.  
  
Wherever we are on our journey, *Beyond Betrayal* offers women and couples clear, realistic guidance on how to move forward into the healing God has for us. The stories recounted are authentic and grace-filled - because we've all messed up in our pain and we all struggle with issues such as anger, boundaries and forgiveness. Despite this, God's arms are wide-open and He is actively working to bring us to new levels of faith, wholeness and maturity: as individuals, couples, families and communities.

"Beyond Betrayal presents the truth in a way that so many other books I've read on this topic haven't. I felt reassured and comforted throughout reading it: a sense of safety that Daddy understands me and loves me where I am on my journey with a sex-addicted husband."
