Addictions: A Banquet in the GraveBy Edward Welch

Addiction…that’s a word that we hear often today. Alcohol addiction. Drug addiction. Pornography addiction. What are we to make of this “addiction is a disease” concept and is there any way to break the hopeless cycle of “sickness, recovery, and relapse?” In his book, Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave, Ed Welch tackles these issues head on and demonstrates how true hope is found in the power of the Gospel. Rather than approaching these issues from the perspective of diseases and sicknesses, Welch identifies the source of these problems as worship disorders related to an idolatrous desire to worship self rather than the one true God. He shows how these problems really proceed from the heart and provides a road map, from God’s Word, to lasting freedom. As such, this much-needed book offers real hope and the promise of victory in Jesus Christ to those struggling with addiction. Are you or is someone you know struggling with a life-dominating sin? This book is a must-read for genuine growth and change through the liberating power of the Gospel!
