7 Pillars of Freedom Workbook

Several years ago my world turned upside down with the new knowledge of my husband's sexual sin. All I wanted was for someone to come beside me and tell me it was going to be alright, someone to tell me what came next and that I was not alone. I needed a friend who would not judge, give me unsolicited advice, or condemn my husband. I desperately needed someone to tell me what life could look like on the other side, and that there was, in fact, an "other" side. But I could find no one. I was alone and scared, afraid of my own feelings and afraid of what lay ahead.\nNow that my journey has moved to a place of peace beyond the tears, I have set out to be that friend to as many people as possible. I am telling my story in an effort to be authentic, to let you know there is hope, and there is an "other" side. You are NOT alone and your feelings are valid. Most of all, I hope to show you that our awesome\nGod is right beside you, even if you don't feel His presence right now. Next fall I am planning to hike twenty-three miles in thirteen hours from one rim of the Grand Canyon to the other. This is one of the many endeavors that God has put in front of me these past few years- adventures I never would have attempted before I knew of Tim's addiction. Because of the new relationship that I have with God and because of the trust I have in Him, I know that I can accomplish anything with God on my side. Years ago if you had asked me about myself, I probably would have said something about being a wife, a mother, and a Sunday School teacher. But now when I picture my life, I see open spaces and no walls. If I were to draw you a visual of my life now, I would draw myself on the other side of the Grand Canyon with my arms up to the sky, tears of joy streaming down my face as I praise the God who sees me and loves me unconditionally! I can only imagine what it is going to feel like to hike from one side of the Grand Canyon to the other, to look around at how far I have come and the deep chasm that now separates me from my past.\nI imagine I will be apprehensive as we hike down, not knowing what to expect; then I think I might be a bit overwhelmed as we start to climb back up, wondering if I will be able to make it all the way up. As we get closer to the top, I will start to feel the excitement when at last the rim is visible and we see people cheering us on to completion. I pray, no matter where you are on your journey back to the top, that you have people around you, cheering you on. I pray that you know God is right beside you, walking each and every step with you, that you know you are not alone on this journey, and that many people you have never met are praying for you. And I pray that you, too, will be able to make it to the other side, praising God and knowing how much He loves you. You are in my heart and prayers, dear friend. May God bless you on your journey! See you at the top!

Review\n"Nick is a warrior with a uniquely passionate heart for God! His words will stir your heart and give courage to your soul, no matter what you may be battling. I recommend that you read Nick's book with an open heart, because he has a delightful way with words and is a creative thinker. Personal application of the exercises and tools will help you understand yourself much better and come to grips with why you do what you do." 
Dr. Ted Roberts\nLead Pastor, RockPointe Church\nPure Desire Ministries International\n"I can feel the smile on my face right now as I envision readers holding the story of what God has done in Nick Stumbo's life in their hands. What God has brought to pass in his life over the past few years is a contagious story of redemption and beauty. Nick is a man who is walking in wholeness and holiness, and it is demonstrating itself in how he leads and how he lives. He walks the talk, and what he writes is absolutely worth reading. I highly recommend his words and his story to all who will take the time to read it." 
Matt Bota\nHave you ever found yourself thinking: "This isn't a big deal. I'm naturally wired this way. All guys struggle with this kind of thing." But at the same time feeling: "I hope she never finds out. I can't be authentic with people I care about the most. I always have something to hide."\nSuch is the nature of the trap of sexual struggles, pornography, and addiction. Research shows that a majority of men struggle with sexual purity. They are slaves to their hormones and desires. As Nick shares his journey, you will discover how God shows up in unexpected ways and places to bring true and lasting freedom. This isn't just another how-to book on trying to control your behavior. This is the story of redemption-how God redeems what has been broken and recreates something awesome in a man's heart.
