Publisher's Synopsis
We live in a culture of addiction.
In our families and our friendships, in our places of work and our
Houses of Worship- the proof is often as close as the person next to us.
Generally misdiagnosed and frequently untreated, hidden addictions to
food, sex, gambling, pornography, prescription and illicit drugs,
shopping, smoking and alcohol affect tens of millions of Americans.
Are you or someone you know experiencing:
* Job loss, continuing unemployment or money problems
* Heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, obesity or diabetes

* Hopelessness, low self-image, thoughts of death or suicide
* Rebellion, profound risk-taking or unlawful behavior

These are the symptoms of common addictions.
Your next move could save the person you love.

SHELLY BARON was raised by loving parents and devoutly Orthodox Jewish
grandparents in Brooklyn, New York. STEVE BUELOW is a pastor's son who
was raised in a Midwest Christian home from birth. In one form or another,
each have had their lives, and the lives of others that they loved, affected by
addiction. Both found their answer in a 2000 year-old story told by Jesus Christ.
