Summary:

This is a companion workbook to Neil Anderson’s Freedom from Addiction. The premise of this workbook is that people cannot consistently behave in ways inconsistent with how they view themselves. This Bible-centered recovery program teaches each addict who he or she is in Christ.  The Workbook contains ten chapters, each of which includes sections to help the participant understand the problem; make a personal appraisal; discover the scriptural truth that sets him or her free; state the truth; illustrate the truth; appropriate the truth; and personalize the truth.  The format of each chapter includes written information as well as questions and responses.  The ten chapters cover:

• How you got where you are
• What keeps you in bondage?
• Giving up on self
• Understanding the Gospel and your Heavenly Father
• Our identity in Christ
• Freedom from fear
• Freedom from the past and victory over sin
• Freedom from performance-based acceptance
• The battle for the mind
• Growing in grace
