Bishop Offers Real-World Hope for Drug Addicts
Book reveals how to escape the endless cycle of addiction God's way

LONGWOOD, FL-Breaking the Spirit of Addiction (paperback, 978-1-60266-133-2), by Bishop Samuel J. Jones, addresses the spiritual nature of the addiction process and how addicts' will and behavior are affected by generational strongholds. The book Includes methods by which lay counselors, spouses, and addicts will be able to develop targeted and specific strategies to break the relapse-sobriety cycle.

Says Jones, "This book provides an in-depth look at how Jesus Christ offers complete and permanent deliverance from Satan's traps, as opposed to the constant recycling process in which many addicts find themselves just 'going through the motions' of secular recovery programs. Additionally, this book helps addicts clearly identify the strongholds they are dealing with by providing practical, biblically based principles to overcome them."

As the president and founder of Highways & Hedges Outreach Training Center, Jones has successfully worked with thousands of addicts for more than 17 years. Through his experience, he has learned that remedial psychiatry isnŐt enough to cure an addict's self-destructive behavior. While prescribed drugs do change the chemical balance in the brain and sedate the addict, they do not take away the spirits that have attached themselves to the individual. "My book teaches addicts how to identify and overcome these spirits and accompanying generational strongholds."

Bishop Samuel J. Jones is the president of Highways & Hedges Outreach Training Center in Birmingham, Alabama, and the bishop of the Good News Fellowship of Churches. He is also a master trainer for the National Center for Fathering and a project director of the Birmingham Fatherhood Initiative with the University of Alabama, Birmingham.
