Stephanie Winslow writes a first hand account of her struggle with a family member and with God over an issue of alcoholism and the effects it had on her family. If you have ever had a family member who struggles with a habit that gets out of control and is harmful to them then you want to read this short but hopeful book.
As a retired Police Chaplain I can attest to the fact that Alcoholism, Prescription Drug Abuse, Illegal Drug Abuse, Gambling and even Overeating can tear a family apart. I have seen first hand the stress, drama and subsequent grieving that these addictive habits have on people.
Add to that your own struggles with understanding how God could allow this to happen and you have a very difficult family situation to deal with.
Stephanie will very candidly express her struggle with how she attempted to help her family member. She will also detail out her struggle with God and the questions she wrestled with and how it caused her to question where God was in this entire situation.
I recommend this book to Pastor's, counselors and families who are struggling with how an addiction is devastating church families.
