Publisher's Synopsis
This book explores how the deceptions in modern day addiction treatment relate to the central conflict of man between faith and non-belief. The early church's struggle of defending against misrepresenting Christ in the deceptions they faced were instrumental in defining for us what it means to be a follower of the Anointed One. Deception still has much to teach us in these current perilous days, when the truth itself becomes a dangerous possession and is so often drowned out by unsubstantiated opinion. These unsubstantiated opinions are derived from what is parroted through popular culture, rather than won through the work of credible social science and biblical exegesis.
A Fall from Grace will explore these central conflicts of human experience:
- Faith vs. Unbelief
- Self-Righteousness vs. the Righteousness of Faith
- The Word vs. the Wisdom of Man
- The Holy Spirit vs. Self
- Sin vs. Repentance
- The Law vs. a Promise to Abraham
- Internal Consciousness/Psychological Presumption vs. Conscious Volition
- Task-Oriented Religion vs. Receiving and Abiding
These contrasts are not distinct battles, but simply a variety of ways to describe the central conflict of man. This book explores how this central conflict relates to deceptions in modern-day addiction treatment.
