Customer Reviews

a different way to view addiction

david eckman has espousing "the shack" view of the trinity long before the book was written - and his treatment the theology of emotion as it relates to addiction is powerful, effective, and insightful. it has helped free me from my own addictive tendencies and examine ignored pain in my life.

catchy title accompanied by a substantive perspective

A follow-on to his book, Becoming Who God Intended, Eckman illuminates a difficult topic by focusing on the intent of the words in scripture; going beyond the simple words, Eckman infuses the writing with an emotional meaning that makes these words come alive.

Helpful and Biblical

Dr. Eckman does a wonderful job of uncovering what is happening under the surface when it comes to all types of addiction. This book is not only helpful for those facing battles with drugs or alcohol...it would be a helpful read for anyone facing any type of addiction. He points to the family background and its long term effects and simple processes and patterns within addiction. He points people to a new understanding of what it means to be a child of God and find our security and meaning through our Creator. It's well worth the price and time to read. I highly recommend it.

A good tablespoon of truth

Great book, truthful insights...but can we trust David Eckman's own Biblical Translations of the Bible?
