This review is from: From Addict to Disciple (Paperback)

I feel the author is a true example of how we can show others God's love. He shares his joys and tragedies in working with those caught in substance abuse. This book is not only for those who suffer from addiction, but also for the friends and family of that person who wish to truly help the addict become a disciple of Christ. It is a book that is easy to read with small chapters that include some key questions and statements that many can relate to. This book also sends hope to the reader and helps them find Jesus in them. Excellent Book!!!!
