Making a Difference - Teaching Biblical Addiction Recovery (Paperback)

Addictions and the problems they produce are not new to the world in which we live. People all over the world are in bondage to the sins of many different kinds of life-controlling habits. This group of people has become one of the largest unreached groups in all of modern societies. There is a sure answer for deliverance and victory. God has given us the answer to these problems in His Word. Although there have been many different approaches to the problem of addictions, the only true cure from addictions is found in the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We must apply this truth in the life of the addict. Without this power, no one could live a life that is pleasing to God. God desires that we live according to His Word, becoming more like His Son as a result. Having a personal relationship with Christ is the only thing that can accomplish this. Making a Difference is a Biblical approach to addiction recovery that emphasizes how to recognize the signs of addiction, the effect addictions have on the local church body, the challenges and goals of an addiction recovery ministry, where addictions come from and to how to gain freedom from them, and many more topics surrounding addiction, recovery, and relapse. It is important that the Christian Worker, whether ordained or layman, understand how to deal with people who are in bondage to addictions and what the Bible teaches about addiction, recovery, and relapse. How do we distinguish truth from error when we are faced with the world's view of these topics? This book will clear up misconceptions a person may have about addiction, recovery, and relapse. Jesus said we are the light of the world. It is our duty, and should be our desire, to take the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ to the world. One way we can accomplish this is to reach and restore those who are in bondage to life-controlling habits. Jesus Christ gave His life for us on the cross at Calvary. There could be no better way for us to show our love to Him than to reach others with the Gospel.
