Gambling Addiction: The Problem, the Pain and the Path to Recovery

Thousands of people with very different backgrounds and personalities are afflicted with a benumbing addiction to gambling. The author, now freed from his own enslavement to gambling, exposes the causes of the illness, describes its progressive stages, and shows how it changes people. Using his own experience and a tested, biblically-based strategy, he leads readers to the spiritual transformation and the practical program required for release from the addiction. This book also provides three case studies of individuals freed from the addiction.
