Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians are painfully codependent, and never get free. A codependent lifestyle is a miserable, fearful life. From never feeling secure, to the need to always be in control, the extremes of codependency fuel the chaos and pain in our lives. In Escape from Codependent Christianity, Dr. James B. Richards examines this common phenomenon in light of the truth of Scripture. Codependency is not complicated. It involves depending upon others for what we have no right to expect from them. Codependents often fall into the trap of living on other people's approval for their own sense of self-worth. They may depend on others for decisions or happiness. No matter what the needs are, the key to codependency involves trying to get from others what people cannot truly give.

Download or read book Crushing Codependency and Relational Idolatry written by Mary Lehman and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of living behind walls to hide her guilt and shame, author Mary Lehman describes her journey from shame-based religion to a grace-based relationship with the Three In One. For God to get her attention, it took the death of her husband and the separation from someone with whom she had developed an unhealthy codependent friendship. Because, in the past, Mary had fallen into an inappropriate relationship, she recognized the slippery slope she was on. Amid the months of grief and desperation, she made the decision to never go down that road again. Seeking God, she came to realize He had put her on a path where she could receive His deliverance from codependency and relational idolatry. Since then, Mary has overcome the spiritual abuse, internalized shame, and habits of risk-taking that kept her in bondage for decades; she has renewed her mind with the gospel of grace. As her new identity, she has put on Christ. Now, applying the story of David and Goliath, Mary shares her journey in detail and describes her newfound peace and freedom. This is the narrative of a woman who has found transformation within her faith, escaping the mental and emotional traps that had kept her from healing and joy.
Download or read book The Christian Codependent written by Suzanne T. Immen and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Bible teach about love? In her book, The Christian Codependent: When Our Loving Hearts Become Bleeding Hearts, Ms. Immen examines the answer to that question. As a professional counselor, she learned that many Christians often suffer through their loving and giving, and they believe that they are being a "good" Christian. If they just pray and ask God for help, then He can and will preserve relationships. Love becomes a matter of faith. However, she proves through scripture that God has boundaries when He mandates that we love Him, ourselves, and then others. She offers ways to become a healthy person, loving freely and deeply, reaping God's blessings and joy. She shows that people who love through Christ must not try to "control" people or situations but to let God lead them into relationships that He blesses.
