David Eckman reveals how addictions to sex, pornography, food, chemicals, and even work can take hold in a person’s life. The hope he offers is how experiences of the spiritual life break the addiction cycle, and how our relationship with God guards us from addiction.

A must read for every Christian and even non-Christians. The beautiful, inspiring, heart warming message woven throughout the book is that God is not distant but close and wants to be their Heavenly Father, even their ‘daddy.’

How to Escape the Trap of Addictions When good things created by God—such as sex and food—are misused to escape emotional and relational pain, the resulting damage, desperation, and loneliness can be worse than the worst nightmare... for you or someone you love.

Using ground breaking research and offering compassionate understanding rooted deeply in Scripture, David Eckman shares

• how and why unhealthy appetites grip people and trap them in a fantasy world

• how God responds gently to weakness and failure

• how shame and guilt disappear when we realize His passionate delight in us

• how four great experiences of the spiritual life break the addiction cycle

• how enjoyment of our relationship with God actually guards us from addiction

As you begin to grasp God's radically loving plan to protect us, you'll find yourself wanting to run forward- away from aloneness and self-deception and into the arms of your Abba Father.
