Famously neurotic comedian Richard Lewis finds himself on a gurney in the ER at the age of 44, hallucinating from excess cocaine use and his body poisoned by acute alcoholism. The same dysfunctions that had been the basis for his successful stage persona and inspired his best material had, it seemed, turned on him. In this very funny, deeply honest, and inspiring book, Lewis explores how he got there, how he finally got on the road to recovery, and how he copes with being Richard Lewis sober on a daily basis.

With addiction rates soaring and conventional treatment methods falling short of achieving sustainable recovery, Rise in Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction presents a paradigm shift.

Jesus spoke to me, "THE BIBLE IS AN IDOL" which completely changed my direction. I then only sought for Him in the Spirit; and He has taught me many things on life's journey. The most important of which is that He died so that we could be regenerated by the Holy Spirit into sons and daughters of God. The bible is a history book about God, a dead letter. The Gospel is simple, repent from living after the flesh, ask Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit and then be led by Jesus through the Spirit. Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law because we were unable to keep it. The Gospel is ...

This is a book about sexual purity. It was born from a deep desire to see men get free of the sexual idolatry we have been practicing. It’s time for us to make a stand for sexual purity. It won’t be easy. The world and even some in the church will laugh at our attempts. They will say that we are over-reacting, that we are blind to the times we live in. I hope to convince you differently. This battle is of utmost importance for Christian men. As long as we engage in sexual idolatry, we have no integrity to lead. Our spiritual walls are down, and the enemy has free access to our hearts ...

Henry Enrix did a very comprehensive study of demonology, and explains in detail what the demons are, what they look like, and how they attack people. It's kind of unbelievable, since all of our knowledge in our current society dictates totally the opposite of what Enrix states in his book: 100 Ways to Know if You Have a Demon. Enrix suggests that every human, animal, and even vegetation, and the land itself, is attacked, oppressed, vexed, or possessed by invisible entities called stars, fallen angels, and demons, and he gives examples supported by the Holy Bible, The Testament of Solomon, ...

The term' spiritual malady,' currently used in addiction circles, refers to an inability to regulate emotions, feelings of emptiness and unworthiness, unstable self-image, self-destructive behaviors, self-harm, anxiety, depression, anger, and isolation. The spiritual malady is precisely what the Buddha referred to as Dukkha or the human condition of suffering twenty-five centuries ago. The spiritual malady also refers to the same human condition that poets, priests, and philosophers have called attention to throughout recorded history. Ignorance or not seeing that we are caught in the human...
