As a seasoned professional in Gospel Rescue Ministry I have read many a manual and am pleased to say that Williamson has encapsulated a vibrant and exciting new outlook to help my clients lead lives free of addictions and return to useful societal life. This book is well written in language that is easy to understand and is a superb self-help manual. It is a must read reference for any addictions counselor or ministry chaplain!

Radical Breakthroughs to Overcome Addictions by Kathryn Williamson is an excellent treatise on breaking addictions in and by the power of God's son, Jesus Christ. The book is written in a plain and direct style. Using the core parable of the sower and seed spoken by Jesus Christ and recorded faithfully in the various Gospels, Radical Breakthroughs succinctly lays-out an easy to follow plan for living a godly life obedient to Christ. In this way, both "good soil" and "good fruit" is produced by God in the heart. The ultimate effect is a completely new anthropology and phenomenology where the individual is free of addictions. Adhering to a biblical counseling model, Kathryn, gives full honor to the infallible word of God, the bible, and the power and love of Christ to seed, sprout and grow in the heart and soul His salvation for those who struggled with addictions. Importantly, Kathryn stresses that those who struggle with addictions must be involved in the complete Christian life and depart from: labels, excuses, blame shifting, faulty theology, godlessness or half-hearted Christianity as well as secular viewpoints which conflict with biblical truth. In this way, Radical Breakthroughs states very clearly what the individual can and must do in Jesus to be set free from addictions and live "abundantly" in Christ. This book is written by a non-professional for those Christians who need a direct dose of loving truth. Kathryn's personal story of being released from debilitating addictions and depression is compelling and lends credibility to her clearly articulated and biblically-based treatise. I highly recommend this book.
