Book excerpt: An addiction is ANYTHING that controls you Physically, Mentally, or Spiritually. THE ADDICTION HANDBOOK BY JESUS looks at the account of the demoniac of Gedara in Mark 5, who was controlled greatly by demons, and what Jesus did to deliver him from them. The same voice of Satan and his demons invades our thoughts today, tempting us to go against God's Word by tempting us to sin. Our sin nature gives us the ability to sin, but the voice of Satan and his demons "pushes the right buttons" to get us to consider what he is presenting. The temptations are never-ending, but can be controlled and defeated through God's Word. THE ADDICTION HANDBOOK BY JESUS will help guide you through biblical principles to victory, knowing the true source of temptations. All scripture is King James Version.

Download or read book Grace Overcomers written by Dan Lightsey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2010 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace Overcomers Addiction Minstry, founded on the "Finished Work" of Jesus Christ, is a unique book that adresses addictions from a purely biblical perspective. Using a sound doctrinal premise to guide us, we have produced a primer that is an able tool in the hands of the pastor/teacher in the local assembly, the professor in the seminary, and the many students that will have questions regarding the issues of addiction. In addition to the above, it is most valuable in the hands of the person who struggles in this area. The book is set up in a simple format of Seven Guiding Principles and Seven Governing Precepts. The Fifteen Foundational Bedrocks; doctrines that when applied to ones life will transform the soul. There are eleven testimonies in the book that bear this out. It tells why the 12-step model, even though it may be Christ centered, can only take one so far on the road to recovery. It is loaded with scriptural citations and Bible commentary. Used by Prison Chaplain David Stambovsky, he says "The book is vital for raising men out of the dunghill and showing them their great value and potential in God's plan for their lives." Pastor Thomas Schaller adds, "Study the elements presented in this book. Testimonies of these believers smack of the genuine transformation that is available to all of us. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on "The Role of the Local Church in the Recovery From Addiction."

Download or read book The Addiction Recovery Handbook written by Richard W. Clark and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Richard Clark presents in The Addiction Recovery Handbook: Understanding Addiction and Culture is long overdue. Since 1939, Bill Wilson’s important and influential books, Alcoholics Anonymous and AA’s Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, have helped millions of people struggling with addiction to recover. In more than 80 years since then, a lot has changed: the definition of addiction, its demographics, social attitudes to addiction, politics, religious influence, treatment modalities, and the epidemiology of the illness. These have taken tolls on our modern network of relationships and treatment that culture and community now depend upon. The Addiction Recovery Handbook examines the changing historical views of addiction, outlines how this culture developed its contemporary perceptions and values, and how society contributes to this growing problem. Richard Clark proposes AA’s traditional religious model of God’s help-and-forgiveness can no longer address the needs of a diverse and largely irreligious society where atheism is becoming mainstream. His updated analysis of the traditional ‘AA’ approach proposes that self-understanding and awareness—through knowledge and education, psychology, and compassion, be the significant components of any recovery framework. This will guide both caregivers and addicts to develop expertise regarding more successful treatment and recovery protocols. This would be in a supportive environment of self-knowledge and mutual respect, whether theist or atheist. All concerned will acquire the ability to live a spiritual life, which is clearly defined. The Addiction Recovery Handbook is an interesting and readable book and is intended for everyone: addicts, medical professionals, counsellors, therapists, clients, sponsors, social workers, family members, partners, friends, employers—every stakeholder in a healthy, non-judgmental society that cares about the wellbeing of all its members.
Download or read book Handbook for Christ Centered Substance Abuse and Addiction Counselors written by Michael Belzman, Ph.D., MDAAC, MRAS and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Michael Belzman is the founder of the Association of Christian Alcohol & Drug Counselors (ACADC). An educator, counselor and pastor, he is also a speaker at congressional hearings warning law makers against making laws that exclude Faith-Based counselors from participation in the professional arena or infringe upon their religious freedom. ACADC is the only Christ-centered counselor certification organization authorized by any state government. ACADC Institute trains their students biblically so they can provide addiction counseling to Christians in need of the biblical rather than secular options. Few thought it possible that a Christ-centered certification board could exist in today's postmodern society, yet ACADC was written by the hand of God into the California Code of Regulations, opening a door that no man could close. From a background of teaching psychology at secular universities, and a false belief in human solutions to the problems of the soul, Dr. Belzman surrendered his life to Christ in 1980. By nurturing a personal relationship with Him through prayer and Bible study, he found that God's life principles and promises changed his life in a way that psychology or prescribed drugs could not do. He saw first-hand how God's power not only overcomes deep addiction, but can direct the decisions of kings. Dr. Belzman pastors ACADC Christian Fellowship founded on the notion that healing of the soul best takes place in the context of Christ-centered relationships bathed in prayer. He lives with his family in Calimesa, California and welcomes communication from anyone desiring to serve God by becoming a Christ-centered counselor. He and his staff of Christ-centered professionals may be contacted by email at [email protected], or by letter addressed to the Association of Christian Alcohol & Drug Counselors, attn: Mike Belzman, PO Box 8604, Redlands, CA 92375.

Download or read book Addicted to Christ written by Helena Hansen and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are spiritual power and self-transformation cultivated in street ministries? In Addicted to Christ, Helena Hansen provides an in-depth analysis of Pentecostal ministries in Puerto Rico that were founded and run by self-identified “ex-addicts,” ministries that are also widespread in poor Black and Latino neighborhoods in the U.S. mainland. Richly ethnographic, the book harmoniously melds Hansen’s dual expertise in cultural anthropology and psychiatry. Through the stories of ministry converts, she examines key elements of Pentecostalism: mysticism, ascetic practice, and the idea of other-worldliness. She then reconstructs the ministries' strategies of spiritual victory over addiction: transformation techniques to build spiritual strength and authority through pain and discipline; cultivation of alternative masculinities based on male converts’ reclamation of domestic space; and radical rupture from a post-industrial “culture of disposability.” By contrasting the ministries’ logic of addiction with that of biomedicine, Hansen rethinks roads to recovery, discovering unexpected convergences with biomedicine while revealing the allure of street corner ministries.
Download or read book Mental Health and the Church written by Stephen Grcevich, MD and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church across North America has struggled to minister effectively with children, teens, and adults with common mental health conditions and their families. One reason for the lack of ministry is the absence of a widely accepted model for mental health outreach and inclusion. In Mental Health and the Church: A Ministry Handbook for Including Children and Adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, and Other Common Mental Health Conditions, Dr. Stephen Grcevich presents a simple and flexible model for mental health inclusion ministry for implementation by churches of all sizes, denominations, and organizational styles. The model is based upon recognition of seven barriers to church attendance and assimilation resulting from mental illness: stigma, anxiety, self-control, differences in social communication and sensory processing, social isolation and past experiences of church. Seven broad inclusion strategies are presented for helping persons of all ages with common mental health conditions and their families to fully participate in all of the ministries offered by the local church. The book is also designed to be a useful resource for parents, grandparents and spouses interested in promoting the spiritual growth of loved ones with mental illness.
