About

Help and hope for men . . . Undermined by silent fathers. Harassed by pornography and sexual temptation. Afraid of failing those they love most. Angered by past relationships with women. Help and hope for women . . . Lost in their relationships with others. Betrayed by fathers, husbands or male leaders. Wounded by sexual assault. Paralyzed by self-hatred. Andrew Comiskey sees our weakness as "a threshold for holy power"--the point at which God can meet us for healing and equip us for service. He has seen it happen again and again. During many years of ministry, Comiskey, his wife, Annette, and their fellow "strugglers" have accompanied hundreds of wounded men and women to transformation at the cross of Christ. Telling real-life stories of despair, hope and lasting change, Comiskey lays out the foundations for healing from relational and sexual sin. With chapters focusing on particular areas of vulnerability for men and women, on the battle over homosexuality in church and culture, and on the essential role of the church in ongoing healing, Strength in Weakness makes clear the way to the cross--God's sufficient answer to our deepest needs.

Reviews

"Strength in Weakness makes it clear that what God gives to the weak really is strength and not weakness. We are enabled to be 'strong in the Lord and in the power of his might,' as Paul said. And we can learn to negotiate the intricacies of fantasy, feeling and context in such a way that we do walk in holiness and power wherever we are. These are universal lessons of the way of Christ, no matter
Dallas Willard
"Using Genesis 3:1, Comiskey shows how sin leads to an alienation of man from woman and woman from man, with all its disastrous consequences for family and children. Comiskey shows how important it is for a man to be truly masculine and a woman tobe truly feminine, and for each to complement the other. While sin destroys the harmony that ought to exist between man and woman, Christ rescues man and woman from isolation by becoming the bond between them, prompting each to be reconciled with the other."
Rev. John F. Harvey, OSFS, Director of Courage
"With his characteristic candor and clarity, Andrew Comiskey leads us through his own journey toward sexual completeness and spiritual wholeness. His theological insights regarding human sexuality and relational authenticity are biblically based and practically applied. There is a profound spiritual depth to this book that dares to recognize the toxic nature of sin in order to release the healing power of grace. As we experience healing and completeness as sexual persons, we discover wholeness andhealth as spiritual persons. Reading this book is to be led by the Good Shepherd beside still waters and discover the power of the One who 'restores my soul.' "
Ray S. Anderson, Senior Professor of Theology and Ministry, Fuller Theological Seminary
