About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a biblical approach to the recovery from obsessions. The obsessions can be as minor as fishing too often or as major as full blown addictions to drugs. The point is that Jesus Christ gave us guidelines on how to moderate and on how to be healed when necessary from these obsessions. The outline from Matthew in the New Testament is where Jesus teaches us the format for recovery. It is why he starts with being 'poor in spirit' and ends in being persecuted for your beliefs. This simple outline from Matthew 5:1-12 is where basically all recovery programs have their origin, and I have included in the back of the book a chapter titled 'The beatitudes and their correlation to the twelve steps.' It is the premise of this work to bring clarity to the truth that has always been in God's Word. It is a work that reads well and was a pleasant task to write. I hope you will enjoy as well as benefit from its pages. Thank you for your consideration and for taking the time to read this brief edit. Dennis Wright.

About the Author

My name is Dennis Wright and I have spent 30 of my 55 years in the field of addictions and dysfunctional thinking. I am not a teacher or professor, I am a schizophrenic with a gift for words. I have spent those thirty years struggling to stay off alcohol and drugs and have managed to put twenty years of continuous sobriety together. My sobriety date is August 5, 1988. In my effort to stay clean and sober I have helped hundreds of guys who also were trying to stay sober. The experiences from those gentlemen became my experience and I have learned the concepts in this book from the streets. From the school of hard knocks you might say. I dedicated my life to Jesus Christ 6 years ago and found that all the knowledge that I had been embracing as "new" came from the Bible. Since being baptized with the Holy Spirit I have written 5 books with more on the way. Please enjoy.
