To Those With Faith: Helping the Church Understand and Support Healing for Those in Addiction - Hardcover

Through a seamless blend of biblical wisdom and experience-based insights, To Those with Faith serves as a guide to anyone approaching the subject of addiction. The path of recovery is often dark and misunderstood, yet these ten chapters offer clarity and hope along the way. It is a profound and empathetic guide for the Christian community seeking to better understand and support individuals grappling with all types of dependency. Thompson boldly addresses the complex interplay between spirituality and the science of addiction, urging the church to bridge the gap with compassion and informed action.

Navigating through the nuanced layers of addiction, the book provides an earnest look at the challenges faced by those affected: spouses, children, parents, and the addicts themselves. The compassionate narrative encourages the church to foster an environment where open discussion becomes the norm, where the stigma attached to addiction dissolves in the face of Christ's redemptive love. This book is not just a call to awareness but a call to action, imploring church leaders and members alike to adopt a proactive stance, to equip themselves with knowledge, and to extend the healing hands of the church community to those in need.

For too long, the church has abdicated its role in this arena. To Those with Faith exists as a clarion call for the body of Christ to fulfill its much-needed role in recovery. It is an essential read for pastors, clergy, volunteers, small group leaders, staff, and anyone else who wishes to better understand and assist those bound in addiction. Be prepared to discover the tools, hope, and clarity you need to import and export the healing grace of God.
