Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic

Christian Living

“As a neurosurgeon, I’m in the business of trying to save lives. And when I find something to help me do that, I prescribe it to everyone who needs it. Jon Seidl has written such a prescription in Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic. It could have been titled Confessions of a Christian because Jon’s words apply to everyone who has chosen a surrogate with which to anesthetize themselves from the sin and shame life so often brings. His radical call not just to come to Jesus but to become like Jesus is the medicine we all so desperately need no matter what we’re struggling with.”

Peace in the Waiting

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“W. Lee Warren, MD, Christian Book Award–winning author of Hope Is the First Dose and host of The Dr. Lee Warren podcast “In Peace in the Waiting, I found comfort from someone who is where I am: in the middle of waiting for a loved one to come to know Christ. June not only normalizes the heartache we face but challenges us to grow rather than get stuck in the grief, to see that the waiting is not just about them; it’s about us too.”

Words with God

Christian Living

“As he so often does, God placed my friend Addison Bevere’s book Words with God in my inbox exactly when I needed it most. In a quiet and dry season in my prayer life, when God’s voice feels drowned out by life’s frenzied pace, Addison has equipped me to learn to hear again. My bookcase contains many treasured guides I’ve used to reconnect to God when prayer seems hard or ineffective, including my favorites by Philip Yancey and Richard Foster. But Addison has done more than just give us a book on prayer; he walks alongside those of us who are struggling, pastoring and mentoring us through our doubts and fears into real connection and conversation with God. I’ll return to Words with God many times in the years to come, as it has already been so helpful to me. He asked for my endorsement as a favor to him, but Addison’s book is a favor to us all.”
