Church Junkies: A pastor's perspective of what true spiritual health looks like, how to get it and how to keep it

by Josh Melancon

What do you do when it seems that the place you should have found the most joy has left you disappointed, empty, and hurting? Perhaps, you’ve never tried church because of all its bad press. Or you may have tried church and it just didn’t work out for you. Or maybe, you are still attending but only out of duty, habit, or fear of the unknown. Josh uses Biblical wisdom and straight talk to help •Discover the purpose of church attendance as God intended you to experience it.•Identify the areas in your life that are holding you back from living the life God intends for you.•Rediscover the joy that comes from being in community with other believers. •Gain an understanding of the practical principles you need to take your life from surviving to thriving. A self-proclaimed church brat, Josh has seen the church at its finest…and its lowest. With a little bit of humor and some straight talk, Josh takes on the hard realities of why you might not be getting everything church was intended to give you. He also shares a plan to help you gain and keep emotional and spiritual healing, stability and personal growth.

Josh is very candid about the church, its good and bad points. But he gives a clear path of hope to all those seeking to find their place with God and the church. A definite must-read for the believer and those on the fence about God and religion in general.
