Surfing for God: Discovering the Divine Desire Beneath Sexual Struggle

What it is

Michael John Cusick, a trauma-informed therapist and himself a man who nearly lost everything to sexual struggle, wrote the book that reframes the whole question. His claim is that beneath pornography sits a legitimate and God-given desire that has been misdirected, and that a strategy built entirely on suppression fights the wrong enemy — you cannot starve a hunger into disappearing, you can only redirect what feeds it. He works through the trauma and shame that usually sit underneath, the difference between behaviour management and heart change, and what pursuing the deeper desire actually looks like. Published by Thomas Nelson. Cusick also founded Restoring the Soul, listed here, so a reader who finds this book names their experience can go directly to the two-week intensive built on the same thinking. With Unwanted, this is the essential root-cause pairing in this directory.
