TOP TEN FINALIST - 2018 Author Academy AwardsWas it all a lie?“Because of moral failure, that’s why.”When Kirsten Samuel heard this confession from her husband it took her breath away. Looking back she realized her husband’s sin exposed the deception in her own life. This uninvited crisis proved to be the impetus for her ultimate healing. Kirsten writes that for most of her adult life she believed: •She wasn't good enough, or pretty enough, or smart enough, or rich enough, or talented enough, or whatever enough. •She wasn’t a good person. She was too stubborn, opinionated, and direct. •She was a failure because she’d tried something bold and audacious and didn't succeed like planned. •She was invisible and forgettable. In these pages, you’ll experience raw honesty and a clear path through the pain. You’ll realize that no depression is too dark and no lie too strong. Discover a powerful process where you exchange isolation for accountability and deception for deliverance. Today you can experience a way out, even in the bleakest of circumstances where the bottom doesn’t feel like the bottom. The truth is that God is greater than your pain.

Review

Do you believe it is possible to recover from addiction
and depression? In Choosing a Way Out, you will walk with
Kirsten Samuel and her husband, Dave, through the pain and
reality of a secret life that threatened to end their marriage.
The Samuels reveal how redemption and reconciliation
are possible when you submit to God's Plan. As you read
their story, you'll find hope for the wounds you carry as
you learn a proven method to heal from devastating lies
and step into faith-filled freedom.
Joanne F. Miller

Choosing a Way Out walks you through the experience of
a devoted Christian couple who find their family suddenly
shipwrecked by pornography. Feel the desperation of trying
to protect a well-crafted image for others to admire.
Connect the dots between unresolved childhood trauma
and anxiety disorder and PTSD. Imagine what it's like to
have a son ask, "Do you love my dad?" and to struggle
to say 'no' to divorce, and 'yes' to God, her husband, and
their wedding vows. Read the story of how the author
learned to unlock her repressed grief and found answers
at the bottom of that deep pit. Learn the hope found in a
Christ-centered restoration team and marriage counselor,
and the breakthroughs and restoration of trust, friendship,
and intimacy. Finally, mine the resources at the end of their
story, and discover that these alone are worth the price
of the book.

As a pastor, I see the devastation pornography and depression
causes to individuals, marriages, and families. It's not
something we choose to talk about often, but it is real and
destroying lives and marriages. This book, Choosing a Way
Out, chooses to tackle these subjects carefully and honestly.
In reading through David and Kirsten's story, you will see
how God provides redemption and reconciliation when we
are willing to submit to Him. You will journey with them
and their amazing Restoration Team through the pain to
restoration. Life is messy. Yet God restores beauty from
the messiness.
