About the book: Watching someone you love self-destruct hurts.
Praying for Your Addicted Loved One: 90 in 90
tugs at the reader's heart in 90 days of candid devotions aimed at
offering strength, hope, and encouragement to families in the throes of
living with an addicted family member. Families get left behind in the
recovery process, but their support is crucial. Realizing you are not
alone in your family's struggles brings comfort and confidence to face
day-by-day challenges. Reflection prompts and spaces for journaling
encourage the reader to pen their thoughts on the verses and devotions.
Each day's entry ends with a prayer.
The Cosbys, a middle-class
family, lived the nightmare of addiction with their son for 18 years.
Their lives were turned inside out and upside down as his dependence on
painkillers escalated. The descent into a living hell challenged their
faith as the addiction claimed more and more control. Sharron's
middle-of-the-night reading of Jeremiah 30 and 31 changed the course of
their lives and restoration became a reality.
The overall message of Praying for Your Addicted Loved One
conveys hope to families caught in the addiction cycle. The various
stages of the disease: abuse, recovery, and relapse, take their toll.
Hopelessness grabs a family's heart and wrings it out with each slip of
clean or sober time. The verses in Jeremiah 30 and 31, the foundation of
the book, offer the promise of restoration and redemption.
90 in
90 reflects the 12 Step model of an addict attending 90 meetings in 90
days. While your loved one attends meetings, you will read a daily
devotional to lend spiritual support to your addict.
"Today I
pray for other lost addicts to find the hope of recovery. I pray the
families reading this book will continue to have hope that an
addict---any addict---can stop using drugs and find a new way to live.
If there is one thing I can say to family members it is, never quit
fighting. There is always hope. With hope, I---a once hopeless dope
addict---am now a dope-less hope addict." ~Josh Cosby

My Review;
Sharron Cosby has written a hopeful, thoughtful, encouragement and love in this book called praying for your addicted one. The author shares the ups and downs of praying every day for a better day. While the person you love is struggling you read from the Scriptures to give you the strength you need to be able to be there to help when they need and or ask for it. The book had moments of happiness and very low points of not knowing what to do next. I really encourage anyone who wants to help themselves while helping the person they love, to keep this book within easy reach. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own. |
