Publisher's Description
Many Christians are locked in a cycle of addiction, particularly in the areas of alcohol and drug abuse. Many have turned to twelve-step programs for help. But where is the incredible power of Christ in this process? In a positive, noncondemning way, Anderson provides an alternative model of recovery for substance and alcohol abusers, a model that will also work for individuals struggling with other kinds of addictions. The first half of Freedom from Addictions tells the unbelievable story of Mike and Julia Quarles, and how Mike overcame a debilitating addiction to alcohol. He achieved success by applying the principles that make up the central theme of Dr. Anderson's message: that we are saints according to God's Word (Ephesians 1) and that true freedom comes from realizing our identity in Christ.

“Freedom from Addiction offers a combination of biblical truth and fascinating testimony which demonstrates that Christian salvation is not just an experience for heaven. Christ desires to change lives and bring freedom from destructive habits now. The great value of Freedom from Addiction is that it not only proclaims this truth, but explains how to make it real.”
“FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF ATLANTA Freedom from Addiction is compelling because it addresses the issue of addiction so directly and specifically. It will be a valuable tool for us to use in our counseling ministry.”
“PRAISE FOR Freedom from Addiction Our society has never before offered us so many choices to fill the emptiness of our lives. Dr. Anderson and the Quarleses have provided practical steps to keep from being overrun by these uncontrollable passions. They remind us through poignant testimony and practical helps that Christ desires more for us than just sobriety—He wants us to experience freedom. I highly recommend this book to both the “addict” and the church!”
“The authors' approach to exposing and “hitting head-on” the strongholds that feed addiction is great. As a program director who deals with these painful issues every day, I found myself making notes and rereading passages from the book, as I gleaned powerful truths that will change the lives of the people I work with.”
