About the book

If you are an addiction struggler, you have been pursuing mind-numbing, pleasure-inducing, or pain-killing experiences to deal with the ups and downs of life. But you cannot solve problems of the heart by physical means like drugs, illicit sex, porn, cutting, or self-starvation. God understands the loneliness, hurt, shame, guilt, despair, anger, and anxiety of your heart. He lovingly provides the plan and the power to find comfort, peace, and freedom from enslaving sins.

With God's help, you can overcome your addictions God's way, and can become the Christlike person God created you to be.
