A Path Toward Freedom and Recovery for Those Struggling With Substance Abuse

Millions of people are caught in the vortex of addiction to alcohol, prescription, and non-prescription drugs. It leaves confusion, despair, and broken relationships in its wake. And despite what many want to believe, chemical dependency is a silent storm quietly raging within the church. Updated with information on the latest designer drugs, including crystal meth, this powerful resource will help guide individuals, families, and churches through their darkest times.

Jeff VanVonderen provides answers to the many questions facing those with addictions and those looking to help them, including:

- How and why people become dependent
- What steps must be taken to overcome the dependency
- Why total family wellness is essential to long-range recovery
- What friends, loved ones, and the church should—and shouldn’t—do to help
