Addiction.
Few words are as polarizing. Some say it is a choice. Some say it is a disease that affects how the brain works. Some say it's both a disease and a choice.
Gary Ackert suffered from multiple addictions, beginning at a young age. Getting married and starting a family didn't deliver him. Only when he experienced the gospel of Jesus Christ did he find the hope and strength to break free from its grip.
In Hope in the Madness, Ackert shares the freedom-giving good news that:
God isn't surprised or disappointed in our addiction
Jesus joins us in the midst of our struggle
The Holy Spirit, living in us, gives us the strength to overcome it
Through the power of the gospel, we really can break free from our addiction. Gary Ackert guides us through the journey to freedom.
