Anchored: A Devotional Guide for Parents of Addicts

It is my desire, through these devotions, that you find peace, joy, and once again sense God's love and grace through your storm of parenting a drug-addicted child. My prayer is that you will become anchored in God's presence, His promises, and His word. I pray that you will no longer allow the raging storm of drug addiction to toss you to and fro, to the point where you cannot see God or feel His presence. And, if you do not know Jesus as your Savior you will submit everything to Him and allow Jesus to carry you through this storm. Finally, I pray that if you are already a Christian that you will renew your trust in God and do not permit this storm to become bigger than your God.

"Anchored is a riveting read that takes on one of the most volatile attacks on the family and the church.There is no family that is safe from the attack of drug addiction and Deborah Bailey takes this issue head on pulling no punches. This biblically sound devotional is a must read not only for those who are in the battle, but to also prepare for the the possibility of an upcoming battle. Anchored sheds light on who is behind the attack and why we must be anchored to the hope found only in Christ."

"For parents facing the gut-wrenching but all too common experience of walking through their children's drug addictions Deborah Bailey's "Anchored" provides the tools to wholly align their thinking on this difficult life experience with God's perspective. Seeing it God's way is practically the whole battle and "Anchored" gets you there."

Together we win,

Addiction never only affects the user - it always touches the family members of the addict. Anchored reminds us to not place our hope in the answers offered to us by the world but rather to tether our souls to trusting in our loving God. Deborah has provided a great source of comfort, peace and direction for heart-broken and distraught parents looking for answers and hope.

Micah Andrews, Chief Executive Officer-The Foundry Ministries Bessemer, Alabama

"As a pastor, counselor and Christian addiction specialist, I highly recommend Anchored as a must read for every Christian parent who is struggling with a prodigal child mired in drugs, alcohol and other rebellious activities. Deborah has touched on every aspect of pain and healing that a parent goes through, whether married or single, while dealing with addictions in their family. This book is a great tool as study guide for support groups across America."
