Helping Others Overcome Addictions: How God's Grace Brings Lasting Freedom

by Steve McVey, Mike Quarles

Does Christianity have an answer for addiction? As longtime pastor Mike Quarles’s alcoholism worsened over eight years, churches and Christians referred him to treatment, 12-Step programs, therapy…nothing worked. Steve McVey, also a pastor, repeatedly dished out the same advice Mike received, with similarly poor results… …Until, in their frustration, God led them back to basic, addiction-breaking truths of His Word. The authors explain these for readers who want to help someone or who struggle themselves, because freedom from addiction is found only when Christians Material on codependency is included, as is information on implementing recovery/support groups for those leaving addiction and starting to live in God’s glorious freedom.

A book that is a foundation for Christian believers in facing addiction. When we are in Christ we are no longer addicts and we are free indeed.

Why secular treatment does not work. When we know who we really are, then the miracle of healing and restoration begins.
