“My name is Manny, and God assigned me, in a manner of speaking, to mentor Jack, the alcoholic in this story who overcomes an addiction. When I first met Jack in a church, he had just prayed this prayer.”
“I can’t go on any longer like this, God,” he cried. “Please help me. Please keep me from ever drinking again and bring me out of this darkness I’m in. Show me Your mercy.”
“Jack first thought he could stop his drinking by force of will. When he realized that didn’t work, he turned to God. Little did he realize what that prayer meant. He thought at first that God would take away his desire to drink, but that didn’t happen.
“What did I do to get Jack to overcome his addiction? What did God do? What did Jack do? Good questions, and you’ll find the answer to all of them by reading FINDING THE SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH, coming out January 26th on Amazon and later elsewhere.”
This book is not just for alcoholics and drug addicts. There are scores of other addictions we get caught up in. And if you are one of the few who don’t have any addictions, this is also the story of how to draw so close to Jesus that if He were to stop suddenly, you’d bump into Him.
