Julia Northrop –
Wonderful book on not just addiction, but living a life of recovery with Christ. “In his response, Jesus showed them that the one who is dependent, the one who is most vulnerable, the one who is the most truthful about their human condition will grow into someone who lives fully, loves deeply and leads well.”

A really helpful guide and helped me empathize with those I know who addiction is part of their story. Recovering addicts are honest with their brokenness and I appreciate that level of transparency.
