When Lost Men Come Home

When keeping promises doesn't cut it, When "being in the Word " leaves cold, When your prayers for healing are met with dead silence- When you wonder, "Is there hope for me?" Sex and romance addictions have now been labeled by counselors and clinicians as, "the Christian's new drug of choice." The Church has lulled herself into a false sense of well-being while half of all congregations surveyed admit to suffering with addictions and compulsions beyond their control. We ought not to be surprised. The polls, surveys and the media reports daily reveal the explosive growth of porn addiction, serial seduction and the lure of the chat rooms among Christian men. Accompanying the addictions are emotional, relational and spiritual issues waging war in the soul of the victims. The hopeful news is that there is a movement of Christian men who are now finding relief from the compulsions and deep healing for the soul. For them, the journey out of deep addiction is found in a Christ-centered application of the powerful 12 steps, developed and popularized by the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. To this program, Dave Zailer has created a new, unique handbook for the journey, marrying the biblical context to the proven spiritual 12 steps program. Conversational in tone, the reader is invited to look over his shoulder as he writes what he has practiced, experienced and learned. Traveling through the pages- as a journaling experience, or in a group setting (recommended) - enlightenment and transformation begin for most men, and lost men are returning home. Something about Dave's writing resonates deeply within the fellow-traveler. One finds that the abundant grace he promises has come miraculously for him, yet not without considerable pain and darkness. Zailer's life experiences- childhood abuse, the secrets of a Baptist leader's home, drug addiction, and porn production- all preceded the radical process of redemption in his life. These are testimonies to the power of the Spirit of God released when the Christ-centered 12 step journey is diligently embraced, day-by-day, in the anonymous company of other recovering men. Dave's story and the stories of men who have discovered When Lost Men Come Home, reveal the hope and destiny for men who actively surrender to a God "who can do for them what they cannot do for themselves." The journey home in the company of men continues. You're invited to join. You'll never by lonely again.
