Praying for Your Addicted Loved One: 90 in 90 Book Review








 Cover for 'Praying for Your Addicted Loved One: 90 in 90'


 About the Book
Watching someone you love self-destruct hurts.

Praying for Your Addicted Loved One: 90 in 90 provides ninety devotions of strength, hope, and encouragement to families coping with addiction. Realizing you’re not alone in your struggles brings comfort and confidence to face day-to-day challenges.

The overall message of Praying for Your Addicted Loved One conveys hope to families caught in the cycles of addiction. The various stages of the disease: abuse, recovery, and relapse, take their toll on families. Hopelessness grabs a family’s heart and wrings it out with each slip of clean or sober time. The verses in Jeremiah 30 and 31, the foundation of the book, offer promises of restoration and redemption.

90 in 90 reflects the 12 Step model of attending 90 meetings in 90 days. While your loved one attends meetings, you will read a daily devotional to lend spiritual support.

“Today I pray for other lost addicts to find the hope of recovery. I pray the families reading this book will continue to have hope that an addict—any addict—can stop using drugs and find a new way to live. If there is one thing I can say to family members it is, never quit fighting. There is always hope. With hope, I, a once hopeless dope addict, am now a dope-less hope addict.” ~ Josh Cosby

Sharron Cosby is married to Dan and together they have three adult children and five grandchildren. She works for an international charity by day and writes by night. Her passion is to share God’s message of hope, strength, and encouragement with families living with addiction. (Amazon)







My Review
I think most people have an addicted love one. Even if just a friend or distant cousin. In any case it is always a difficult situation and hard to know what to do. This book is perfect for those who really want to help and are willing to pray every day for this person. 
Each chapter is full of Bible verses and wisdom and the subject then there is a page at the end that you can fill out for your personal thoughts. So not only is this book accountable for helping you pray every day it helps you get your thoughts out and think about this person more than a two second prayer. 

I highly recommend to those who are in this situation!

"I received this book from Litfuse for free in exchange for an honest review."
