London's suburbs. Latin America's megacities. West Africa's villages. China's skyscrapers. North America's homes. Addiction is a worldwide epidemic. This book is about the very communities in which we work, rest, and play. Dr. Andy Partington provides a powerful look at the gospel for the addicted and helps us think about what it means to be the Church in light of this growing--and heartbreaking--epidemic. Not only does Partington help us understand addiction and recovery, he also provides practical steps for addiction care born out of his travels, research, and up-front global ministry. The church and our communities are full of people at risk of addiction, in active addiction itself, and in recovery from addiction. This is a book about how slaves to addiction become children of the living God and family in the community of God. Wherever they are. Whatever has enslaved them.
