Broken by Sin: My Story and My Testimony: My Story and My Testimony

I am Rick Levesque. I have written my first book; It is about faith my recovery from my alcoholism pornography and my experiences with the church after the revelation of my affair. I am not alone in my struggle and would like this to reach just one man to help him get honest about his Sin and encourage the church to be more open to sinners. In many ways the church is broken; years of pleasantries and hollow worship dependent on tradition while keeping appearances up have almost proven ineffective for those who struggle with Sin. The struggles of the world are the same struggles of the church. I fought for years living up to the church image I had created. Once brought to church; Sin my knees by my alcoholism; I found a relationship with God in the rooms of recovery and began attending church with the burden of pornography addiction on my back. The physical affair that followed and its revelation in the cruelest manners would test my faith and my view of the church and force me to my knees again. I became desperate for the love of Christ and transparency. I am not alone in my struggle; I have found that others are more open in my openness; there is power in all of our testimonies. I know Jesus loves me but maybe I can love others by sharing my story.
