Description
When the Voice of Shame Is All You Hear...
It's no secret: Talking about personal issues is awkward and risky. But day by day, those unspoken struggles wrench you down into isolation and distract your thoughts.
You know the dangers of going it alone. You've seen other men crumble beneath the weight of hidden pain. You've felt the sting of failure as you've taken missteps and descended quietly into guilt. Perhaps you find yourself in the midst of an internal battle right now.
With sensitivity and clarity, Johnny Hunt addresses some of the issues men find most difficult to talk about: pornography, substance abuse, anger, depression, unforgiveness, and more. Unspoken will give you the courage to overcome your stumbling blocks and step into a new life, free from the bondage of shame and silence.
You can stand stronger when you stand with a community of believers-and Johnny will show you how. Find renewed strength to honor your family and worship the God who longs to give you true freedom.

Reviews / Votes
"I know of no one who ministers more effectively to men than Pastor Johnny Hunt. Unspoken is a book that speaks directly to where men live, why they often hurt, and how, through Jesus Christ, they can change. Lives will be transformed by this powerful book. I gladly commend its widest possible use."-Dr. Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary "Johnny Hunt takes a scriptural and practical approach in proactively tackling issues the church cannot be timid about any longer. Thank you equipping saints and saving lives, Pastor Johnny."
-David Nasser, Pastor/author/Liberty University Senior VP "Johnny Hunt is a rare leader-a faithful pastor who knows how to reach men, talk to men, and challenge men to faithfulness. He has channeled a lifetime of wisdom into the pages of this book. Men should read it, study it, and then share a copy with a friend who urgently needs it."
-Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "Johnny Hunt's preaching, teaching, and personal discipleship have for years revealed his heartbeat to raise godly men. His new book, Unspoken, continues that emphasis, calling men to break the silence on eight areas keeping them from spiritual maturity. This book is a much-needed work."
-Dr. Thom Rainer, President and CEO, LifeWay Christian Resources "Psychologists say that the most influential parent is the same-sex parent. In the 32 years I spent as a college football coach, I noticed less and less of the presence of the fathers in their sons' lives. I think they wanted to be actively involved with their sons, but they just didn't know how. This book not only deals with the relationship between a father and a son but also the man's relationship with his family. Johnny Hunt's book Unspoken addresses all the issues and struggles that men face when trying to be a godly father and husband. For any man who is wanting to be an effective Christian role model in his family...this book is a must-read."
-Tommy Bowden, NCAA college football coach and commentator "Pastor Johnny has a lifetime of inspiring men to become the leaders God has called them to be. I'm excited to see some of his most powerful insights combined into one compelling volume. Whether you are looking for personal edification or something to use with a group, this is a great resource."
-J.D. Greear, Lead Pastor, Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham region, NC "Proverbs 28:13 is why I am so thankful for this book. It says if we keep our sins bottled up, they will ruin us, but if we confess them to God and others, we will succeed and, most importantly, find mercy. Learn how to do just that from Pastor Johnny Hunt!"
-Jonathan Akin, Director of Young Leader Engagement, North American Mission Board
