Everyone of us is a potential addict.
Eventually, every addict finds himself at a crossroads.

In a pressure–filled world, the prospect of instant escape can be exhilarating. No matter the object–drugs, alcohol, food, gambling, or sex, just to name a few–addictions lure us. They extend the promise of pleasure. In the end, they deliver emptiness, death, and destruction. What began as an escape from the hassles of life becomes a form of bondage. Addiction is a voluntary slavery. Change doesn’t come easily. But change is possible!

No matter how many times you have tried and failed, there really is a way through the addictive fog. There is a guidebook for living, and, contrary to what many think, it is available to anyone, even to those enslaved by an addiction. God is not silent on this issue. His Word offers hope, and that hope is the basis of Crossroads: A Step–by–Step Guide Away from Addiction.

Crossroads was designed as a group study for those struggling with addiction. These ten steps, presented in author Ed Welch’s trademark direct, no–nonsense style, provide a biblical and practical framework for change. Welch is a wise and loving partner who walks beside readers on their journey to freedom. Along the way, they will learn to recognize the patterns of addiction, to choose wisdom over foolish desires, and to cling to the hope they have in Jesus, who sets captives free. The path away from addiction has been laid by a God who is full of surprises, who faithfully pursues those enslaved even though they have deliberately avoided him.

“Dr. Edward Welch has pioneered the movement in biblical counseling from behavior modification into a heart centered on worshiping the one and true living God. Dr. Welch accomplishes this shift by revealing the glory of God in his redemptive work and taking it out of the hands of self–sufficiency. With Crossroads, Dr. Welch has found a way to morph the addict’s story into the Story of God by not letting the addict identify himself with his current sin of addition, and by calling the addict to repentance and dependence on Christ.”

“At the heart, addiction is a spiritual problem. It demands a spiritual solution. No strange to this topic, Ed Welch gently confronts struggling addicts with God’s truth, both their self–deception and the surprising grace of Jesus, who makes all things new. This study is truly centered on the person of Christ.”
