Punto de decisión (guía del facilitador)

by Edward T. Welch

Cada uno de nosotros es un adicto potencial y, con el tiempo, cada adicto se encuentra en un punto de decisión. Las adicciones nos atraen. En un mundo lleno de presiones, la perspectiva de un escape instantáneo puede ser estimulante. Sean cuales sean ―a las drogas, al alcohol, a la comida, al juego o al sexo, por nombrar solo algunas―, las adicciones ofrecen la promesa de placer. Pero, al final, nos otorgan vacío, muerte y destrucción. Lo que comenzó como un escape de los problemas de la vida se convierte en una forma de esclavitud. La adicción es una esclavitud voluntaria. El cambio no es fácil, pero es posible. No importa cuántas veces lo hayas intentado y fracasado, realmente hay un camino a través de la densa niebla adictiva. Hay una guía para vivir, y, contrario a lo que muchos piensan, está disponible para cualquiera, aun para aquellos esclavizados por una adicción. Dios no guarda silencio sobre este asunto. Su Palabra ofrece esperanza, y esa esperanza es la base de este recurso diseñado para usar en comunidad.

I picked up this book because it had Ed Welch’s name on it, and I was helping a church member with addiction. I was disappointed in that this book does not carry over the more weighty theological info that can be found in his other books on addiction. In the future, I would rather have counselee’s work through Brad Hambrick’s material.

Excellent. Simple and wise. Currently using this as the basis for a support group im leading.

This book has solid theology and practicality. There are sensible steps that can be taken to helping people with addiction. If your local church doesn’t have a plan to deal with addictions I recommend to start here.

Quote:

Contrary to popular belief, confession is not self-flagellation. It is a way of coming into the light. It is a door to God's wonderful reality. When friends begin to confess specific features of their addiction to the Lord, you can be sure that the spirit is on the move in their lives.
