This book points the addict or the addict's loved ones toward a resolution of the true problem, a spiritual dysfunction. The author notes that true addicts are not helped by self-discipline, nor are they victims of low self-esteem. Rather, they need more total surrender to Christ. The goal of this guide is the victory of living a day at a time in Christ's power.

The authors examine addiction as a spiritual, rather than a psychological, issue. There may be genetic factors and contributing causes in the past, say the authors, but the most helpful way to overcome addiction is by approaching it as one would a sin.

A worship disorder: this is how Edward T. Welch views addictions. "Will we worship our own desires or will we worship the true God?" With this lens the author discovers far more in Scripture on addictions than passages on drunkenness. There we learn the addict's true condition: like guests at a banquet thrown by "the woman Folly," he is already in the grave (Proverbs 9:13-18). Can we not escape our addictions? If we're willing to follow Jesus, the author says that we have "immense hope: hope in God's forgiving grace, hope in God's love that is faithful even when we are not, and hope that God can give power so that we are no longer mastered by the addiction." Each chapter concludes with "Practical Theology," "As Your Face Your Own Addictions," and "As You Help Someone Else."

"Homosexuality is the hot issue of the day," says Edward T. Welch in this booklet. "Even more than abortion, it will confront the church throughout this generation, forcing us to listen, study, and respond wisely." How can we answer claims that the Bible does not prohibit committed homosexual relationships? Or that science proves that homosexuality is genetic, not a chosen lifestyle? Welch supplies us with timely biblical and biological insight into homosexuality. Just as importantly, he calls us to examine our attitudes in order to minister to homosexuals truthfully, compassionately, humbly, and persuasively. There are 26 other helpful booklets in the Resources for Changing Lives series.
