The Calm in My Storm (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662879708)

Do you feel stuck in a marriage filled with adultery, promiscuity, and manipulation? I was. I pray my journey helps you find deliverance.

In childhood, I vowed to the Lord I would save my virginity until my wedding day. I lasted twenty-six years before I broke my vow... All for that momentary pleasure, the "high". "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" (Mark 8:36 NKJV)

Please understand, as we cultivated the habit of living in sin, we got used to the thrill of the illegal. We became addicted to the "high" of relishing the forbidden. Sin is addictive. You lie once, you "get away with it", so you do it again. You see, the person in a relationship says to themselves, I know fornicating is wrong, but very soon this person will be my spouse and it will be okay.The problem is, when you get married, the sex is no longer illegal. By default, it no longer has the excitement of the "forbidden". So, you look for the next best "illegal" thing that can give you that high.

Is there a way out? This book is filled with insights and answers
