Book Synopsis Addiction and Pastoral Care by : Sonia E. Waters
Download or read book Addiction and Pastoral Care written by Sonia E. Waters and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely resource treating addiction holistically as both a spiritual and a pathological condition Substance addictions present a unique set of challenges for pastoral care. In this book Sonia Waters weaves together personal stories, research, and theological reflection to offer helpful tools for ministers, counselors, chaplains, and anyone else called to care pastorally for those struggling with addiction. Waters uses the story of the Gerasene demoniac in Mark’s Gospel to reframe addiction as a “soul-sickness” that arises from a legion of individual and social vulnerabilities. She includes pastoral reflections on oppression, the War on Drugs, trauma, guilt, discipleship, and identity. The final chapters focus on practical-care skills that address the challenges of recovery, especially ambivalence and resistance to change.
Book Synopsis Pastoral Care of Alcohol Abusers by : Andrew J. Weaver
Download or read book Pastoral Care of Alcohol Abusers written by Andrew J. Weaver and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 120 million American teens and adults use alcohol at one time or another. While in most situations these individuals are able to use it responsible and with moderation, no one is immune to its destructive use. Many drinkers find that their otherwise responsible use turns problematic and abusive when faced with depression, trauma, grief, undue social pressures, or other tempting and potentially addictive behaviors. Not all of these people become full-fledged alcoholics, but they do develop an alcohol problem that needs careful and sensitive pastoral care to understand better the underlying issues for their alcohol abuse. In Pastoral Care of Alcohol Abusers, Andrew Weaver and Harold Koenig provide five case studies that illustrate common situations in which individuals may come to be at risk for alcohol abuse, and assist clergy and other pastoral counselors who need to develop competence in recognizing such problems, including alcoholism. The book also offers valuable information on identifying when to make referrals, helping persons to find available community resources, and training congregational members to provide support to affected individuals and families.

You have been given all the weapons and spiritual armor you need – as you read this book, you will be equipped to use them. Get ready to Fight Back. Pastor Vlad leads you to Biblical truths in the Scriptures, and through many of his numerous experiences.

It is time – - to put an end to battles that were passed onto you by others - to learn to use and master the spiritual weapons you have at your disposal - to overcome dark spiritual wildernesses and to renew your mind so that you can see the transformation in your personal life. It is time to Fight Back!
Book Synopsis Your First Step to Celebrate Recovery by : John Baker
Download or read book Your First Step to Celebrate Recovery written by John Baker and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You’ve undoubtedly heard the expression “time heals all wounds.” Unfortunately, it isn’t true. As many pastors and counselors know, people still carry hurts from thirty or forty years ago. The truth is, time often makes things worse. Wounds that are left untended fester and spread infection throughout your entire body. Time only extends the pain if the problem isn’t dealt with. Your First Step to Celebrate Recovery introduces you to a biblical and balanced program that has helped nearly a million people overcome their hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Based on the actual words of Jesus found in the Sermon on the Mount rather than psychological theory, the Celebrate Recovery program has helped people for over 20 years to grow toward full Christ-like maturity. Author and founder John Baker tells the true story of how Celebrate Recovery became one of the largest Christ-centered recovery programs in history. Baker will help you discover how God’s love, truth, grace and forgiveness can bring healing into your life.

Book excerpt: Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

I know what it is like to burn with a desire to drink that is so overpowering that family, jobs, and friends mean nothing compared to the desire for liquor.

Book Synopsis The Road to Freedom by : Johnny Baker
Download or read book The Road to Freedom written by Johnny Baker and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Road to Freedom is the path of hope for all of us who are stuck. With practical application and inspiration, Johnny Baker shares his story of recovering from alcoholism and offers the truths he has learned from his 25 years with Celebrate Recovery. Baker’s father, John, founded Celebrate Recovery when Baker was 15 years old. Later, Baker became involved with alcohol himself. Even though he saw his parents’ marriage heal and watched his dad become a new person, he had to experience his own journey of healing. Baker began the process of recovery as a young adult. Now he serves on the leadership team of Celebrate Recovery, sharing his testimony of how God brought him back home. In the years since leaving alcohol behind, Baker has witnessed thousands of other lives change through the power of Christ. Whether you are dealing with substance abuse, relational struggles, or eating challenges, or you simply want to let go of what is holding you back in life, you will find answers in The Road to Freedom. In addition to telling his own story, Baker offers ten principles of healing. These life lessons remind you that pain has a purpose, small and steady improvement lasts longer than overnight change, serving others leads to deeper healing, and facing your problems is the only way to heal. The Road to Freedom will help you move from coping with hurts, hang-ups, and habits to the hope and health that only Jesus can bring.

This book is a personalized message to you from God. You are not reading this by chance. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords gave us His power. He forgave us all once and for all, of all of our sins: past, present, and future by being brutally beaten and executed on the cross to ransom us from the cost of our sins. He freely paid for our salvation and gave us ALL things that pertain to life and Godliness. He destroyed illness by dying from every disease known and unknown to man at one time on the cross. He gave us dominion and power over all of the power and forces of the evil one so that now nothing shall harm us in any way. He gave us the ability to gain wealth, and He gave us a life of divine prosperity Our beloved King suffered the indignity of leaving His throne in heaven to walk the earth as a human, being tempted at all points as are we, yet not sinning. He was tortured to death by vicious brutal Roman soldiers, skilled in the art of pain infliction. He suffered the worst, most painful death anyone ever had or ever will. Why? BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU THAT MUCH!
