Understanding Christian Drug and Alcohol Recovery A Step-by-Step Guide by Ronald Simmons | Back to main selection of titles | |
|
Substance abuse has been recognized by the medical community as a clinically verified disorder. Alcoholism and drug addition have been called “diseases”. Much of the discussion concerning treatment for substance abuse has centered on medical, biological, and/or societal factors that influence addictions and addictive and abusive behavior. Elder Ron Simmons has written a book that addresses the root of the problem of addiction. His approach is to expose drug addition and abuse by going to the core, examining the reason and the patterns for abuse. Self-abuse and abuse of others is first a spiritual matter, with detrimental biological and environmental consequences. Deliverance from substance abuse is possible and available through faith and obedience to God. This book speaks to the user, the enabler, loved ones of abusers, ministers, educators, and medical professionals. Elder Simmons shares useful information that all of us can appreciate. Elder Simmons is qualified to speak on the subject, He is a recovered substance abuser who has assisted in the reclaiming of many lives, for Christ. He is currently the Director of Transition House, a facility for recovering substance abusers. His commitment to the ministry of counseling and intervention in this area is a testament to the saving power of Jesus Christ. The Transition House provides a Christian-based recovery program that works because God’s word is true effective, and life-changing. I hope that this book will inspire you. May the inspiration motivate your toward a closer walk with God!
