As a result, many who stumble in their faith walk are mired in shame and remain stuck doing what they don't want to do, especially when it comes to one of society's biggest obsessions: alcohol.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this brutally honest yet unashamedly hopeful book, Jonathon M. Seidl vividly details his spiral into disordered drinking--from Christian to alcoholic, not the other way around--and shares the four-step process he eventually used to break free. Along the way, he addresses the roots of our addictions, exposes trauma, reframes the term \u003ci\u003ealcoholic\u003c\/i\u003e, and offers biblical support for why Christians aren't immune to ongoing sin struggles. It's the radically vulnerable book for anyone who has ever wanted to taste freedom but has found it elusive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I have watched hundreds of people surrender to Jesus, love him, and have a hard time breaking free of certain indwelling sins. I'm grateful for books like Jon's. It reads like real life to me: grimy, hard . . . honest. The Lord is faithful to deliver us.\u003ci\u003e Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic\u003c\/i\u003e is a testimony to that faithfulness.\"--\u003cb\u003eMatt Chandler\u003c\/b\u003e, lead pastor of The Village Church \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This book tackles the 'quiet part out loud' that so many of us sitting in the pew on Sundays wish someone would talk about.
