Synopsis

It is assumed by many that addiction is not a major issue for those involved in a faith community. But that is a myth. There are many people in virtually every congregation that struggle with addictive behavior and most are too afraid to admit it. Yet, the church is the ideal place to get help. This book equips pastors, church leaders, lay counselors and volunteers to build an effective and life-changing recovery ministry in their local church.
