God Loves Addicts, This I Know: God's Word and the Road to Recovery is an examination of both classic and modern recovery literature and the role that the Judeo-Christian Bible has played in their development, and particularly regarding how its teachings apply to those struggling with addiction in its many forms. There is a common misconception regarding the term addiction in modern society that it deals primarily, or even exclusively, with substances such as drugs and alcohol. While addiction certainly may include such things, it is hardly limited to them. Addiction in fact includes any person, activity, emotion, or way of thinking that someone turns to in an effort to make themselves complete, to fill some perceived void in their life. Any and all such efforts are doomed to failure, no matter how they may be disguised or how respectable they appear to polite society because they all violate the First Commandment's edict to have no other gods before the Lord. The perceived void is in fact a spiritual need, and no person, no drug, no job, no drink, no feeling, no thing and no one, is capable of meeting that need. It is only through the healing of our loving God that we can find the peaceful, joy-filled life that God intends for His children to enjoy. Through the teachings in His Word, we find guidance to know how to live the life of happiness, joy, and freedom that He has in store for us.
