This is a biblical approach to help addicts who have relapsed in their addiction, or those who wish to develop tools to prevent relapse in the future. "Relapse! Ah, what an awful word for the individual and the family of the "addict." Mark Shaw takes on the challenge both of prevention and biblical recovery. This is more than a workbook. It is another layer of understanding and commitment to biblical living."Howard Eyrich, DMin. "In an age in which the therapeutic reigns, even inside the church, Mark Shaw provides a cure for addiction and relapse that is as time-tested as the problem itself: God's Word. Unflinchingly biblical and utterly Gospel-centered, Relapse provides a life-altering solution to a deep and abiding problem and shows that, contrary to the alleged wisdom of popular psychology, the enemy is not outside of us but inside, and the cure is not inside us, but outside us, in the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you have relapsed into addiction or know someone who is wrestling with this debilitating issue, read this book and be prepared to be transformed by the grace of a merciful God."Jeff Robinson, Ph.D., The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Mark E.
