In this book pastor Andrew Comiskey draws on his experience leading the recovery ministry Desert Stream Ministries to share the experience of six individuals--some married and some single--as they journey through to sexual healing. He addresses a wide range of practical issues from sexual addiction and pornography to recovery from sexual abuse to same sex attraction. He also includes biblical, theological and psychological principles for healing with each story. Helpful for counselors and those struggling with sexuality on a number of levels, Naked Surrender offers strong grounding in a healthy approach to sexuality for today's cultural context.

Help is here. Jesus sees our bodies as temples, houses where he wants to live. And no matter what we've done sexually or what's been done to us, he can reclaim us and make us his own. Whole. Healed. Pure. Andy Comiskey has walked the long road of sexual brokenness and pain and emerged a new creation in Christ, healed from the past. Through Desert Stream Ministries, he counsels and teaches people of all ages and situations to find sexual wholeness. In these pages he serves as your guide and companion, helping you see how deeply Jesus loves you and how relevant he is to your sexual identity. "God cares about what goes on in the temple," Andy writes. "He created the body and sexuality for holy purposes. His destiny for humanity involves our bodies!" What's more, God cares about you and your body, and he has healing for you through Jesus and through the body of Christ. Come, use your good, redeemable body to open these pages and walk the path of wholeness and hope.

Comiskey (M.Div., Fuller Theological Seminary) is a pastor and founder/director of Desert Stream Ministries. He previously served as pastor at several Vineyard churches and as president of Exodus International. His books include (Creation House, 1989), (Desert Stream Press, 1993), (Desert Stream Press, 1998) and (Desert Stream Press, 2000).

" Naked Surrender helps us apply the simple truths of crucifixion unto resurrection into our sexual lives, inspiring us all to sexual wholeness in Christ. In the process, Comiskey demonstrates the vital connection between the truth of the gospel and a true understanding of sexuality; conversely, he shows how a false understanding of sexuality results in a distorted gospel."

"Andrew Comiskey has based his life upon the truth of God and love for humanity. In his book, Comiskey traces the forms of human love which are rooted in God from all eternity: good marriages, love of children, and sacrifice for family and church. " Naked Surrender inspires us on to that spirit of sacrifice; it expresses in numerous ways how loving God and neighbor establishes the backbone of whole sexuality. Comiskey combines sound psychological insight with solid theology. I highly recommend this book for any Christian in serious pursuit of sexual integrity."

"Whenever Andy writes he beautifully communicates the heart of God. Naked Surrender is no exception. I am grateful I was encouraged to read it and thrilled to recommend it to others looking to understand the point of this life."

"We live in the midst of an oversexed society where sexual ethics are often defined by narcissism and a worship of 'sexual freedom.' Naked Surrender invites us to recognize that our sexual identity finds its fulfillment as we submit to the lordship of Jesus Christ. Andrew Comiskey uses concrete examples to challenge us to understand the complexities of sexual brokenness and to develop communities of mutual support so that we can develop healthy relationships that help us become who God created us to be. Through repentance, prayer and mutual support the author shows us how real people have found sexual wholeness in Jesus Christ."
