From the Crucible

Meet twenty Christian Twelve Steppers on the journey of faith— men and women whose life-ravaging addictions led to profoundly transformational relationships with God. Their stories encompass pain and promise, affirm God's abundant grace and culminate in resounding messages of hope. "I must have miscalculated about my life. My expectations of God must be incorrect. Those months of not praying and hating God were worse than my time on drugs!" —WAYNE B. "After ten years of AA sobriety, my life had improved dramatically, but something was still missing." —JANET S. "As a missionary kid, I'd seen God change people's lives. But during my early sobriety, I knew instinctively that if I turned to the God of my childhood, I would have to give up my sexual addiction." —JIM R. Written with candor and courage, From the Crucible offers spiritual encouragement and a deeper understanding of addiction, recovery and faith.
