Jeff Vanvonderen – författare

Millions of people are caught in the vortex of addiction to alcohol, methamphetamines or some other form of prescription or non-prescription drug. The devastation and despair even extend within church walls, often hidden by the victims and those around them. These addictions leave confusion and broken relationships in their wake. Jeff VanVonderen provides answers to the myriad of questions facing those with addictions and those looking to help them. Updated with information on the latest designer drugs, including crystal meth, here is a powerful resource that can help see churches, families, and individuals through their darkest times.

In a breakthrough book first published in 1991, the authors address the dynamics in churches that can ensnare people in legalism, guilt, and begrudging service, keeping them from the grace and joy of God's kingdom.Written for both those who feel abused and those who may be causing it, The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse shows how people get hooked into abusive systems, the impact of controlling leadership on a congregation, and how the abused believer can find rest and recovery.

Written to point the way to freedom for Christians who live under an unwritten religious code of expectations and rules that shame them and drain them of spiritual strength.

Now updated with discussion guides for families and small groups, Families Where Grace Is in Place continues to minister to couples and parents nearly twenty years after it was first published. Using his professional and personal experience, VanVonderen shows readers how to nurture God-honoring relationships free of manipulation, legalism, and shame. This book is a practical and insightful discussion on living a graceful life and building a strong and happy home using God's tools.
