Sykes releases his latest book, Unfaithful But Forgiven: How I Destroyed My Family, Wounded the Church, and Found My Way Back to Love, Fatherhood, and God. This raw, revelatory, and redemptive memoir unpacks the devastating impact of infidelity on Black families, the complicity of silence in the church, and the sacred journey back to healing, accountability, and reconciliation.Written in a powerful fusion of memoir, ministry, and therapeutic insight, Unfaithful But Forgiven confronts what most pastors and fathers won't say out loud: The private torment behind public preaching The generational trauma caused by sexual sin The pain children carry from absent or emotionally unavailable fathers The emotional burden women shoulder when broken men never return to fix what they shattered "This book is not a performance," says Dr. Sykes. "It's a confession. I'm not hiding behind a pulpit - I'm standing in the ruins of what I broke and rebuilding with truth, grace, and God." The book features 10 deeply written chapters that guide men and women through the emotional, spiritual, and practical process of: Breaking the cycle of infidelity Healing father-child relationships Unfaithful But Forgiven is more than a book - it is a healing movement for pastors, men, fathers, and families who have suffered silently in the wake of betrayal, abandonment, or secret shame.
