Product Description
Get Untied from Your Past
Sex is like glue. Super human glue. Inside marriage, God designed it to be a bond that is powerful and unifying. Outside of marriage, the bonds of sex can be devastating. Long after the lover is gone, the bond we’ve created stays with us, negatively impacting our lives and future relationships. Now, through an impressive combination of Scripture and scientific research, Barbara Wilson shows how God designed us to be uniquely bonded through sex. But even more so, she concentrates on the tangible hope that is yours. This book will equip you not only to break those bonds, but to embrace a new, abandoned, wise, and thankful heart.
You’ve had sex.
But now sex has you.
It’s a past that haunts the present. Sabotaged relationships, low self-esteem, sexual dysfunction, an empty spiritual life. Sex will bind you up and tie you down. Why? It’s just sex.
But “just sex” means your body, soul, mind, and spirit have become one with another. Released from a past of her own, Barbara Wilson now combines scientific research with Scripture to offer striking new insights about what sexual bonding is, why it is harmful, and how to move freely into your future. Complete with a study guide for group or personal use, The Invisible Bond is your hands-on tool for changing not your past?but your life.
“Barb’s honesty and vulnerability will inspire you to let God do in your life what He has done in hers, mine, and millions of other lives. He has set us free from self-defeating guilt and shame, helped us embrace our sexuality rather than fear it, and taught us how to enjoy genuinely healthy, intimate relationships. If that sounds appealing to you, then you hold the right book in your hands.”
Shannon Ethridge
Bestselling author of the Every Woman’s Battle series
Story Behind the Book
As abstinence director and educator for a Sacramento pregnancy center, Barbara Wilson talks to wounded and bleeding hearts every day. They’ve lost the war on sexual purity and the daily consequences are their reality. All they want is hope?hope that they can be free from the pain and shame that their past drags into their present and future. This book reveals the negative impact of sexual bonding and offers steps to freedom from past sexual and emotional bonds. But even more, it offers new direction for the free heart, and how to embrace an abandoned, overflowing life!

True Healing June 15, 2008

I struggled for five years trying to break free from my past, trying to get over an ex-boyfriend that I couldn't seem to let go of. This book guided me through healing from the trauma of that breakup and my inability to let go. I didn't think it would work (since nothing else had), but I put my all into it and gave it a real chance. I really and truly healed from the moment I completed praying through my list. I even felt healing in areas I didn't know I had pain. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with past intimate relationships.

This book is extremely helpful and well-written. It has information that is accurate from a biblical, scientific and personal level. It addressed the reasons why one doesn't engage in pre-marital sex. It explains the reasons why God gives us the boundaries He gives us.

I bought 10 copies of this book and gave them to friends and family. If there is one book you buy on recovery and restoration from your sexual past this is the book to buy. If you are tired of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results - read this and once and for all hear the truth so you can move forward. This book, and Barbara Wilson's teachings, have been instrumental in the restoration of my former marriage after being divorced for 15 years! BUY IT!

This book changed my life! Whether you have a promiscuous past, or you were a victim of abuse or rape, I am certain your sexual past is affecting your life today. Guess what? There is HOPE! There is hope for you in the truth, forgiveness, and Grace of Jesus Christ. He will take all that junk from your past and heal you. I began to heal when I read the book a little over a year ago. It was then that I realized I had not dealt with a teenage rape and a promiscuous past. I did not realize how angry and resentful I was! I encourage you to start healing from your sexual past--whatever it is, by reading Barb's book. You too can be forgiven and set free!

This book is the best book I have read about past sexual relationships and how to break the bonds that seem to never let go. Barb's story is truthful, honest, and, at times, painful. The book shows all of us how God can take a broken and wounded woman and turn her into a messenger of God. If you have ever had thoughts or images from past relationships with people or photographic/video images that you cannot seem to release, please buy this book. It will help you get rid of the images and the shame associated with them -- forever! Your freedom is right around the corner...
