This is the gospel centered, clinically sound, recovery book.
Ted speaks from experience as an ex-addict and counselor and pastor. He speaks with authority and does not talk down to the reader.
Each chapter is usually based around a metaphor from his experience as a pilot in Vietnam. The metaphors are super clear and function well.
Although the book is from 2008, I do not think it has dated.
Ted explains the why addiction happens and the how to get out of it. It has information and application. It is meant to be read in a group setting, in my opinion.
