There are no lights upon your tree,
The gift you want is to be free.
You’ve sat alone throughout the night,
When from the darkness shines a light.
There’s Still Hope this Christmas Season,
And from that hope there comes the reason
You can make it day to day,
No matter what your past may say.
His promises make all things right,
With dawn of morning Christmas light.
For all that you face in your fight for sobriety, this day offers the hope and strength that you need. For your questions, Jesus is the Answer. For your needs, Jesus is the Source. And for your recovery, Jesus is your Hope.
Recovery Step: “For unto us a Child is born” (Isaiah 9:6). Merry Christmas!

Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
