TRANSFORMATIONAL RECOVERY MATRIX WORKBOOK
Transformational Recovery is not another superficial self-help manual promising quick fixes; it is a profound and intensely practical workbook that redefines Christian sexual addiction recovery. Drawing from decades of lived experience and deep theological insight, the author boldly confronts the exhausting "try harder, fail, repeat" cycle that leaves so many men stuck in shame and isolation.
The book’s core innovation is the Transformational Recovery Matrix (TRM), a simple yet powerful 2x2 framework (Trivial, Trapped, Transactional, Transformational) that provides immediate, actionable clarity. This matrix serves as an indispensable map, helping readers:
Locate Themselves Honestly: Identifying whether they are minimizing their struggle (Trivial), paralyzed by shame (Trapped), or stuck on a performance-driven checklist (Transactional).
Redefine Success: Shifting the goal from mere behavior management (sobriety) to deep, heart-level intimacy with Christ (Transformational).
The author’s voice is remarkably honest, vulnerable, and non-judgmental, consistently bridging the gap between sound theology and real-world recovery work. He moves beyond the surface-level battle against pornography and compulsion to address the underlying spiritual and emotional roots—the entitlement, pride, and fear of surrender that keep men bound.
Through compelling biblical narratives (like the Older Brother and King David) and searching workbook questions, The Transformational Recovery Journey forces the reader to stop hiding and start healing. It serves as an exceptional companion to 12-Step programs, inviting men (whether married, single, or divorced) to let go of the exhausting transactional grind and step into the lasting freedom that flows from grace, community, and radical honesty.
This is a must-read for any man who has felt like an exception to God's grace or who has mistaken a clean browser history for a clean heart. It offers not just a way to survive addiction, but a way to build a sustainable, transformed life anchored in the unwavering love of Jesus Christ. It’s a call to move from pretense to becoming, from shame to sonship.
