Addiction and God by Michael K. Mason Pdf

The roots of the modern disease theory of addiction can be traced back to the archaic medical philosophies of the eighteenth century. This popular theory is based primarily on the assumption that so-called addicts are physically unable to resist the call of addictive chemicals. They are presumably stricken from birth with this unlucky condition and all but helpless in the fight against the unhealthy symptoms of the so-called disease. The problem is that contemporary addiction research shows that substance abusers are not genetically or biologically different from anyone else. In fact, a growing group of physicians and researchers contend that addicts are simply guilty of making self-destructive choices in response to the commonplace stresses of everyday life. When addicts begin to take responsibility for their calculated chemical choices, they ultimately come to view their abusive behaviors in terms of not sickness but sin. They can then learn how to achieve forgiveness of their sins and deliverance from their addictions by offering their hearts, minds, and bodies to Jesus Christ. This is a skillfully written and powerful book about addiction and recovery. Having seen the devastating effects of addiction first hand, Mr. Mason was able to use his own personal experiences to develop a one of a kind text that dispels the myths about addiction and beautifully outlines the connection between the Spirit and recovery. After 14 years of working in the field of chemical dependency, I have never found a more complete and insightful view of addiction, recovery, and spirituality.

Amazing Grace Addiction Bible Study by Michael K. Mason Pdf

The current success rate for addiction treatment is less than 30 percent, which means that 7 out of 10 recovering addicts are not being cured of the so-called disease of addiction. Why doesnt treatment work? The answer is simple - addiction is not a disease. In fact, the mainstream mythology of Once and addict, always and addict falls apart upon close inspection. Therefore addictive behaviors must be evaluated within the context of not sickness but sin. Through the study of the Bible, so-called addicts can learn how to achieve forgiveness of their sins and deliverance from their addictions by offering their hearts, minds, and bodies to Jesus Christ. They can then be taught how to take advantage of the powerful indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit to wage war against their persistent addictive thoughts. Ultimately, this study has been designed to help substance abusers to focus their minds on God (instead of chemicals) in order to subdue their stubborn cravings for the seductive forbidden fruit of intoxication.

How to Kill an Addiction by Michele Eich Pdf

"Growing up in small town America, I never imagined I would wake up one day to find myself an addicted, homeless bum. But at age 19, I lost everything. I was homeless, jobless, and friendless, with a cocaine addiction gripping my life. Eventually I found myself in cell 121. I had grown up going to church, but I only knew the rules-based 'religious' Jesus. While I was incarcerated, a gentleman with the Gideons would come visit me. He was there, every Sunday, and his commitment showed me that God wasn't done with me yet. Right there in cell 121, I accepted Christ. Even though I was still behind bars for nearly a year, it was one of the best years of my life..." excerpt, Voices of Recovery, by Rusty Boruff How to Kill an Addiction takes a unique approach. Instead of wondering why things happen, it asks the question, Did Jesus provide a way out or not? He did, and it is not just for the "sweet by and by," but for the rough "right here and now." With its uplifting section called Voices of Recovery, you will hear from real people facing real problems and rejoice with them as they share how they have overcome a variety of life-controlling issues. This can only happen when their focus is on the Chain Breaker (Jesus) rather than the chain itself. How to Kill an Addiction explains what has already been done to solve the problems we face. If you have tried everything (or nothing at all), I challenge you to read How to Kill an Addiction.

The Idolatry of God by Peter Rollins Pdf

We must lay down our certainties and honestly admit our doubts to identify with Jesus. Rollins purposely upsets fundamentalist certainty in order to open readers up to a more loving, active manifestation of Christ's love. He explores how the Good News actually involves embracing the idea that we can't be whole, that life is difficult, and that we are in the dark. By joyfully embracing our brokenness, and courageously accepting the difficulties of existence, we truly rob death of its sting and enter into the fullness of life.
