The Last Addiction: Own Your Desire, Live Beyond Recovery, Find Lasting Freedom
"The absolute best book I've read on addiction."–Beth Moore, best-selling author and Bible teacher“There is a different life beyond addiction. Read this brilliantly crafted, true book. Then, read it again. There’s hope in these pages. A new life, a better life. Take it.”–Dr. Gregory L. Jantz, Ph.D., C.E.D.S., founder of The Center for Counseling and Health Resources, Inc. (www.aplaceofhope.com), and author of 16 books“Sharon Hersh is a brilliant artist of the heart whose broken story radiates with the mystery of relentless, down and dirty, truth-filled love. It is scandalous to claim, as Sharon does, that an addiction bears a gift for the addict and for all those who care for him. If it is true, and it is, then shame is not our final covering, nor is sorrow our only friend. If you know you struggle with gods that are not your creator, but have created madness, loneliness, and heartache, then the journey ofThe Last Addictionwill bring you face to face with the One whose transforming love is our deepest desire.”–Dan B. Allender, Ph.D., president and professor of counseling, Mars Hill Graduate School, author ofLeading with a LimpandTo Be Told“A must-read for anyone who wants to go beyond addiction into the heart and soul of recovery.”–William Cope Moyers, author ofBroken: My Story of Addiction and Redemption“I love this book because Sharon reveals the most beautiful truth: We’re all addicts. And we all have Hope.”–Peter Hiett, pastor and author
