Stop the Madness - Finding Freedom from Addictions

by Ben Carter, Dr Paul Hardy

We all want to be free - to really enjoy life. Every one of us, even Christians, experiences pain and emptiness at times. But we often turn to the wrong things to numb the pain or escape for just a little while. Addictions come in all shapes and sizes. Our "drug of choice" might be anything; spending, alcohol, drugs, pornography, affairs, food, people, jobs, even Christian service. The end result is the same: we're trapped and we just can't break free, no matter what we do.

Stop the Madness is a unique experiential resource designed for small groups, support groups, or recovery ministries. Find the path to healing and freedom with this fresh, transforming approach to the time-tested 12 step process. Real, lasting change comes from the inside out. Within a community of fellow struggles, making use of divinely powerful weapons, we can stop the insanity and experience freedom.

Jesus shares His heart and mission in Isaiah 61:1-3: "to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, and release from darkness for the prisoners... to comfort all who mourn... to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes... a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."

Jesus longs for you to be free!

[Keith Allen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This workbook applies the 12 Step principles to working them as a Christian. I don't follow the AA way of recovery, but this book does have some great input on the recovery process as a Christian.
