By Jonathan Jones

The Blessing of the Thorn Workbook is 132 pages filled with biblically based assignments and tools intended to empower men or women struggling with sexual sin. This material was developed from Jonathan’s over 40 years of counseling and ministry experience and utilized in hundreds of his workshops. The primary goal of the workbook is to promote the healing and recovery from sexual sin as well as an improved intimacy with God and others. This workbook can be used within a group setting or completed through an individual mentoring or counseling process. It is not, however, meant to be done in isolation or alone. The importance of accountability and discipleship will be a primary focus throughout this workbook and your healing process. We offer The Blessing of Thorn Book together because we have found this combination to be the most beneficial.

The workbook is in a writable PDF/e-book format. There is no need, unless you wish, to print the workbook. Just download the material and begin. When you reach an assignment section you can type responses onto the document.

Here are just a few of the issues covered in The Blessing of the Thorn Workbook:

Setting up accountability, Barriers to intimacy, Understanding the addiction cycle and its triggers, Addressing our wounds, Forgiveness and grieving, God honoring boundaries, Dealing with our walls, Spiritual warfare, Non-sexual triggers and Developing a plan of action.

It is strongly encouraged to read The Blessing of the Thorn book in conjunction with the workbook but this is not mandatory for successful completion of the assignments.

It will take you several months to complete all the assignments and you will need support and encouragement to keep pressing forward. If you are willing to do the work then you will be rewarded with a deeper and more intimate relationship with the Lord and others.
