Sintimacy: The Christian's Love Affair With Secret Sin

by Brian C. Johnson

SINTIMACY tackles the taboo topic that Christians have been afraid to talk about for far too long...secret sin. Captured in the essence of a spiritual competition where we cannot be transparent with others for fear of not measuring up to others' expectations, Christians are forced into silence. Our spiritual enemy then uses secrecy and silence as a way to enslave individuals into forced servitude-the more secrets, the less we advance God's kingdom. Speaking from his own experiences with secret addictions, the author examines the behavioral patterns and attributes of those who struggle with secret sins of all types. This book is for those who want to be freed from the grips of spiritual slavery and those who love them. Written with brutal honesty, Johnson exposes the excuses and lies often used to justify inappropriate activities. Those who are currently struggling will find a plan of escape and freedom that includes accountability, adherence to scriptures, and developing an awareness of temptations and triggers. By the end, readers will have been challenged to quit making excuses, overcome the guilt and shame often associated with secret sin, and to allow their past failures to become a tool to rescue others who are trapped in the shadows of secrecy. When the body of Christ is free from secret sin, the Kingdom will advance in power! God's plan of redemption for each of us provides a framework for examining how the sintimate can be restored to right standing before the Lord.

Open and sincere, the author shares how he overcame his battle against hidden sin. Great reminders for applying Scripture and now exposing sin is the first major step in resisting it.
