One of the most widely accepted ways of describing an addiction is as a disease, but do we realize what we are saying when we describe it that way? Our current language and approach to addiction is not only lacking in depth but is keeping us blind to an amazing way that God is working in each and every one of us. What if our addictions are not broken parts of us that we have to get rid of, but invitations from God to new depth and transformation? When we are able to hold this experience gently and look at it anew, it reveals a new depth to how we can understand ourselves, our suffering, and God. For too long we have been trying to treat addiction like a disease, and tear it out by the root, but we are invited to something more in our humanity; something that we will never find if we continue to wish away our suffering. Author David Tremaine explores the possibilities of understanding addiction not as a diseased part of our humanity, but as a blessed part of our spiritual journey, and sheds new light on this deeply engrained experience of God.

Recensioner i media

"'kerry walters provides a desperately needed model for the christian voice in the public conversation. each article gets to the bottom of issues confronting our society using creative thought and colorful language, such as describing grace as the invigorating surprise of a flash mob. at the same time, they constantly reference the best of traditional and modern theologians. just what we need!" 

frederick a foltz, lutheran pastor and co-author of faith, hope, and love in the technological society

"walters essays are comparable to those of evelyn underwood and c.s. lewis and have much to say to christians everywhere. timely, prophetic, and profound, faith matters is a welcome spirit-filled balm for the lost soul of american & christianity".

robin jarrell, episcopal priest and author of fallen women and fallen angels:  the mother of the son of man
