People become addicted – to alcohol, sex, drugs, gambling – often because they are seeking to escape from terrible inner pain.
Addictions of many kinds are widespread today – especially to pornography and gambling, with the ease of access on the Internet; and many Christians are looking for help out of the grip of addiction.
Key insights in this book include:
Psychological, physiological and spiritual dynamics of addiction
Addiction's imprisoning effects
The journey to freedom
How to develop a new – and true – personal identity.
Each chapter includes case studies, activities, reflections and a prayer. With a Foreword by Steve Motyer (Theology and Counselling Course Leader at London School of Theology), this book will be invaluable for those struggling with addiction and for those who help and counsel them.
