Shhhh…. Is there something about you that you hope no one else ever finds out? You’re not alone. Everyone has secrets—hurts, abuses, bad habits, fears. Big or small, secrets can destroy you from the inside out. The good news is that confession is more powerful than secrets—or the fear that keeps you from telling them.
In What’s Your Secret? Aaron Stern shows you
· the powerful roots of secret-keeping
· the difference between "good" secrets and "bad" secrets
· what confession is (and isn’t)
· why letting go of secrets is so much more enjoyable than living in fear
· how to strategically live a secret-free life
Using personal stories and anonymous confessions from others, Aaron will remind you of the beauty of forgiveness and the joy that comes from living in the freedom God has always wanted you to have.

Endorsements
"All of us have secrets; some of the secrets are secret sins. Not all of them get confessed. But an unconfessed secret sin is a major impediment to the health of the soul and a life of maturity in Christ. Confession has always been a major concern in the church of Jesus Christ. Aaron Stern draws on the immediacies of a richly textured pastoral practice and explores in detail what is actually involved in carrying it out. A major contribution to both Christian maturity and pastoral competence in this American culture." - Eugene H. Peterson, Pastor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, B.C.
