Cut the power of addiction at the roots, never to rise again
People become addicted – to alcohol, sex, drugs, gambling – often because they are seeking to escape from terrible inner pain.

Addictions of many kinds are widespread today – especially to pornography and gambling, with the ease of access on the Internet; and many Christians are looking for help out of the grip of addiction.

Key insights in this book include:

• Psychological, physiological and spiritual dynamics of addiction
• Addiction's imprisoning effects
• The journey to freedom
• How to develop a new – and true – personal identity.

Each chapter includes case studies, activities, reflections and a prayer.

Hope and practical help for people with dementia, their families, friends and carers

In Insight into Dementia, Rosemary Hurtley explains what it is like to have dementia, examining its impact, outlining options and strategies for care – and much more.

Suggested activities, reflections and prayers at the end of each chapter, along with poetry and biblical references throughout, help to aid reflection and will strengthen emotions and faith whilst offering hope to those with dementia and their carers.

"… a practical, informative text reflecting contemporary knowledge and approaches to dementia care. It distinguishes itself … by its Christian spiritual context."
– Clive Evers, Alzheimer's Society
