What people are saying...

Hey L,

We are one week away from the book release of When Shame Gets Real: A new way to talk about sex, porn, and masturbation!

If you haven't read the first chapter for free or don't know what I'm talking about check out www.whenshamegetsreal.com.

In the meantime, I don't know about you... but I hate waiting for something only to be disappointed when the big day comes.

So I wanted to share with you some early feedback I've received on the book from leaders and writers who I greatly respect and often recommend. Thank goodness it was all positive, because that would have been awkward...haha!

Shame attempts to convince us that we are damaged, and therefore we should continue to hide. Carl Thomas knows these adverse effects of sexual shame not only as a national leader helping men heal from unwanted sexual behaviors, but also from his own twenty-year struggle with porn.

When Shame Gets Real is for people seeking a remedy from the painful experience of sexual shame. Carl's book can help you move beyond a mere desire to outgrow a behavior and into the stories and dynamics that reinforce it. Let this book support your journey to freedom through guiding you to disarm the debilitating power of shame.

This shouldn't be rocket science, but somehow the church has forgotten--you can't cure shame by feeding shame. And so Carl Thomas doesn't just pull back the curtain on shame around porn and masturbation; he yanks the curtain down, rips it to shreds, and burns it. And it's about time!

This book will help men get real with what is holding them back from wholeness, and it leads to true emotional, spiritual, and relational health. Thank you for this gift to men, and women, who have lost hope.

Shame is crippling to the mind and soul. Carl does a good job of describing what shame is and the many ways it damages individuals and relationships.

His writing style is raw and real. If you have struggled to break free from unwanted sexual behaviors and maybe never understood why, this book can help you.

Everyone needs a Carl Thomas in their life. Someone who talks about the stuff most of us won't. Not to be crass or irreverent, but to push us toward growth and transformation. That's his passion. It's also the goal of When Shame Gets Real.

If shame has ever held you back or quietly whispered, "You're worthless," I have a suggestion: Shut its mouth by diving into this very raw and honest book. Your transformation — a bigger, bolder, more powerful life — is about to get real.

When Shame Gets Real is a breath of fresh air for those who are sick and tired of getting hollow answers to their questions about sexuality, especially in a faith context. Carl is inspiringly honest, ridiculously down to earth, and minces no words as he explains the destructive impact of shame from several angles while also demonstrating what it looks like to deshame by sharing his personal stories in great detail.

His humor and straightforward writing will keep your guard down, give you permission to look within without being judged, and lead you further down the path of sexual integrity and farther away from the lonely caverns of shame.

Can't wait to bring you more on February 8th, and I'm hopeful that this book will help many navigate the shame issues in their life, particularly around sex, sexuality, and pornography use.
