LONGWOOD, FL-Deep within our soul are hidden various aspects of lust and addiction. Our lusts are many, ranging from the things we like, desire, or feel the urge to fulfill. Our addictions are few, as we concentrate on addictive habits we perceive as necessary. Together, as dictators, they have a powerful hold on us. In the end, they take away the security we seek. While with God's help we can control our lusts, our addictions have to be broken. Veteran author Robert A. Hanson's Overcoming the Dictators of the Soul: Lust & Addictions ($13.99, paperback, 978-1-60477-021-6) goes beyond a superficial look at the force behind lust and addiction to an understanding of how to overcome and maintain victory over any destructive habit.
During 22 years as chaplain of Plymouth County Jail and House of Correction, Hanson dealt with people locked into various controlling lusts and addictions, especially drug addicts, alcoholics, and similar abusers. During this time, he was able to help many people overcome and maintain freedom from their lusts and addictions, and his biblically based principles still hold true today.
"How can one gain an understanding of how to overcome the subtle aspect of lust and the dominance of an addiction?" says Hanson. "You can be free from their control. This book addresses the underlining issues connected with lusts and addictions. It also provides practical steps of how to overcome and maintain the freedom gained."
