Synopsis

The Heart of Addiction is for anyone with an "addictive personality." Substance abusers, addicts with a physical dependency, and those who cannot stop some type of pleasurable activity will gain insights and practical help from the hopeful message from the Bible regarding addictive thoughts and behavior. Pastors, Counselors, Rehabilitation Directors, Church Leaders, Family Members, and devoted Christian Friends of the addict will find many optimistic, honest, and specific answers to help those hurting and struggling with the behaviors of an addictive sin nature. All Christians can benefit from reading The Heart of Addiction because it calls all members of the body of Christ to a whole-hearted commitment to love God and others in a deep, meaningful, and radical way.

About this title

From the Author:

Sometimes, I simply have them read the entire book twice through, but in a program format, I assign the companion Heart of Addiction Workbook lessons, which correspond to each chapter in The Heart of Addiction, so that we can walk through the book together in a counseling context. The Workbook is a tool that encourages them to garner more "people-resource" support, to increase participation in a local church, and to be open about how they are "really" doing with their struggles while learning the Bible.
