This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interpretation of this gospel integrates an objective analysis of its historical context and a subjective semantic disclosure of meaning. To that end, a close reading of the text is combined with consistency building in order to achieve textual congruence and plenitude of meaning. The subject/ object split of traditional biblical scholarship that requires analysis in order to produce explanation as a definable object is superseded in this book by the event of reading as a dynamic happening of personal experience from which the reader cannot detach herself or himself.
Download or read book Jesus and the Addict written by Pam Morrison and published by Eabooks Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We face a profound problem in this country and around the world, the plague of drug addiction. Lives are being lost and destroyed. Many people are affected by this issue in some way, via family members, friends, or co-workers. The question is, "How can people find true healing of the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs involved in their addiction?" The author proposes leading addicted people to faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus and the Addict: 12 Bible Studies for People Getting Free from Drugs is designed to help leaders in Christian faith-based recovery to guide those who come to their communities toward continuous freedom from drugs. The book contains twelve studies with biblical guidance on varying issues with which people in recovery struggle such as overcoming fear, learning to have hope, overcoming resentment, and dealing with forgiveness. Jesus Christ is the answer in all these things. Deepened relationship with Him and the transforming effect of His power and love bring redemption and new life. The book is intended for pastors, mentors, sponsors, and teachers - anyone working in jail, prison, transitional communities, or in churches to help recovering addicts. The studies are designed to be shared in large group settings, a speaker providing the teaching talk. Following that teaching time, the large group can then break out into small groups for discussion of the teaching. However, this material is workable within a single small group as well as a large one - the small group hearing the talk less formally and then discussing it. Each of the twelve lessons contains a verse or key verses from the Bible about a particular topic. Those Bible verses form the basis of the lesson. There is then a section with discussion about the background and state of mind of people seeking recovery for the speaker to consider about those who will be in the listening audience. The author's experience has largely been with people who are lower income or poor, but addiction affects all classes of society, and both urban and rural populations. The concepts discussed in the background and state of mind section are adaptable to varying recovery audiences. A prayer for the speaker is included next. Following the prayer, there is a sample talk section where some key points are given. This talk can be modified to fit the speaker's own experiences and their audience. And each chapter concludes with sample questions that can be used to stimulate conversation within your recovery group. The book also contains teaching and theology about the nature of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. An explanation of the cross event, resurrection, and the meaning of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers is explained such that people in recovery can understand God as being full of grace and as a source of great empowerment. The presentation of the present-day healing ministry of Christ gives hope to the addict that they can permanently be freed from drugs and feel the lifting of guilt and shame. They can also take their place as a useful and contributing part of the kingdom of God and in society. Dr. Pam Morrison, the author, is an ordained pastor from the Free Methodist Church. She has led or helped to lead six churches. She has volunteered with Prison Fellowship and has ministered with addicts in several settings. Her belief is that medical and secular means have been and are used to help addicts, but the greatest help anyone can receive to achieve permanent freedom is to find faith in Jesus Christ. So much more help is needed for addicts and families of addicts. We are short on places and those who will walk steadfastly with people seeking recovery. This is a ministry urgently needed in this hour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epidemic of drug addiction has ruined untold countless lives in the United States and throughout the entire world. As events in the world seem to become progressively worse, so does the problem of drug addiction. I have personally fought the war on drugs, having a career in narcotics law enforcement. Even though God has blessed me to have great success in my career as a narcotics officer, I have come to understand that the only way to rid society of narcotics abuse is to stop the demand. The old business adage of "supply and demand" runs especially true in the narcotics "industry". If people in society want illicit drugs of abuse, someone somewhere is going to produce, grow, manufacture, transport and sell them. I believe that God has called me to minister to anyone that will listen about how to get our families and friends freed from the bondage of drug addiction that is destroying this generation. I have been asked many times by many people about what they could do to help their family and friends that are under the influence of drug abuse. At the time, I didn't have many answers to give them. I then began to ask God in prayer to help me understand the problem of addiction and what God's Word said about it. God answered my prayer and began to give me revelation on this topic. I was inspired by God to primarily focus on the source of drug addiction and how to defeat it. This book was written as a way to learn and understand what God's Holy Word, The Bible, says about addictions. It was meant to be used as a handbook on how you can change lives of others. In writing this book, I want to advise and challenge all those who will read this prelude, that this book is totally based on the Word of God, and faith in the Word, and that Our Heavenly Father is true to keep His word and promises. It is my hope and prayer that you do not just read this book and reference scriptures in it. You need to sit down with your Bible as you read through this book and do your own study and research about these scriptures, it is only then will the Word totally come alive and allow you to receive full revelation about this. It is my opinion that no one should ever completely take someone's word for what the Bible says; you need to know what it says for yourself. You see, the Bible can be very intimidating to read due to its sheer size and many books. Some of it may even be hard to understand. This book is meant to be a guide on the spiritual root of addiction and how to combat it. Its purpose is to enhance a Bible study so you can have guidance and enlightenment on this subject and then you can walk away with a true and real understanding. This book is meant to guide you, encourage you, enlighten you and assist you in your understanding of the Word on the topic of the roots of addiction and the principles involved in dealing with it. As you are reading this, there is someone in either your family or a friend that comes to mind that you are concerned about their addiction to illicit drugs. I ask that you give this book ten minutes of your time and read through the first chapter about the source of addictions. After that, it is my prayer that the word of God will take root in your heart to grow and that you understand that you do not have to sit idly by and watch friends and loved ones destroyed by addiction, but that you can learn how to break the spirit of addiction.
Download or read book The Drug Users Bible Extended Edition written by Dominic Milton Trott and published by MxZero Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-12 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Note that this is the complete and final version of The Drug Users Bible. People are dying because of ignorance. They are dying because unremitting propaganda is denying them vital safety information. They are dying because legislators and the media are censoring the science, and are ruthlessly pushing an ideological agenda instead. They are dying because the first casualty of war is truth, and the war on drugs is no different. This book makes a significant contribution in confronting this harrowing and tragic narrative. Over a 12 year period the author of this book self-administered over 180 psychoactive substances; both chemicals and plants. For each he recorded the life-sensitive safety data, including the anticipated onset times, the common threshold doses, the routes of administration, and the expected duration of the experience. In addition, for every compound he also produced a trip report, detailing the qualitative experience itself. This delivered another invaluable insight, enabling, for example, an objective assessment of the extent of any loss of judgement and self-control. This is a substantial body of work, embracing a wealth of direct support material, including addiction/overdose advice, relative harm tables, and legal briefings. Its contents also extend to cover aspects such as drug tourism, psychedelic exploration and drug related culture. It is crammed with detailed reference data, and even includes its own drug dictionary. The Drug Users Bible is a unique and unprecedented volume of encyclopaedic research, embracing the full extent of the drugscape. Its objective is to provide, without fear or compromise, core and critical information to support the health, welfare and well-being of the 250 million people in the world who use drugs. The book itself is lavishly illustrated with hundreds of photographs, taken by the author himself. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS The first section comprises a comprehensive introduction to crucial drug concepts and practices. This, in itself, is indispensable prior-reading for anyone who chooses to use a psychoactive substance. It contains, for example, a detailed risk mitigation procedure: 'The 10 Commandments of Safer Drug Use'. This presents a generic set of easily understood steps to aid personal safety, inclusive of an illustrated explanation of how to identity test the substances themselves. THE PSYCHOACTIVE DRUGS The full gamut of psychoactive chemicals and botanicals is meticulously covered. Well known examples include heroin, cannabis, xanax, kratom, cocaine, DMT, methamphetamine, ketamine, LSD, ayahuasca, alcohol, and MDMA. Lesser known examples include 4-ho-met, calea, ephenidine, mad honey, mapacho, a-PHP, and yohimbe. The scope also extends well beyond the most common categories, of psychedelics, stimulants, depressants and dissociatives. Included, for example, are dream herbs and nootropics. The investigation of psychoactivity was unbounded and unfettered. THE WORLDSCAPE Drug use does not occur in a vacuum, so the final section considers the wider context, with in-depth examination of everything from travel to the horrors of the war on drugs. Facts, science and genuine statistics replace the myths, fabrications and propaganda of the prevailing social order, again with welfare and safety emphasized. EDUCATION SAVES LIVES Education underpins harm reduction, and is the primary driver throughout. Indeed, personal safety is the first and last message, and guides the entire narrative. This is a book for drug users and their families. It is a book which will help to avert tragedy. It is a book which will save lives.
