Jesus and the Addict: 12 Bible Studies for People Getting Free from Drugs
Jesus and the Addict: Twelve Bible Studies for People Getting Free from Drugs is designed to help leaders in Christian faith-based recovery to guide those who come to their communities toward continuous freedom from drugs. The book contains twelve studies with biblical guidance on varying issues with which people in recovery struggle such as overcoming fear, learning to have hope, overcoming resentment, and dealing with forgiveness. We can often feel a little bewildered on how to help people with such a significant struggle. The book is designed to give you 12 weeks of immediate studies. Each topic, itself, could be expanded into a several week series, using the model of the book for creating the talk and discussion questions.
Jesus Christ is the answer to all the challenging issues named in the book as well as in others you will face as a leader, committed to helping addicted people. The book also helps people in recovery themselves and their loved ones to better address the problem of addiction in their lives.
Deepened relationship with Jesus and the transforming effect of His power and love bring redemption, sobriety, and freedom. Jesus and the Addict is highly useful for pastors, mentors, sponsors, church leaders, teachers – anyone working in jail, prison, transitional recovery communities, or in churches to help recovering addicts and is a source of great encouragement for people walking out of addiction and for those who love them.
Book available in paperback, ebook, and Spanish (Jesús y el Adicto: Doce Estudios Bíblicos para Personas que Están Saliendo de las Drogas y Alcohol)
