MAITLAND, FL— Isaiah Thomas Matthews’s new book, From Addict to Disciple - Recovery Is a Life of Daily Grace and Gratitude In the Holy Spirit, ($19.49, paperback, 9781498477604; $9.99, e-book, 9781498477611) is a daily devotional that is specifically written to those who are struggling with addiction to any vice. He offers readers an entire year of scripture, prayer, and reflection, as he guides them through the Bible, one day at a time.

As a recovering addict, Isaiah discovered that he must rely on God’s grace to get him down the road to recovery  – what he calls “a daily, moment-by-moment walk with Jesus Christ.” The author believes that no matter what the addiction may be, Jesus Christ can heal the pain and remove the urge by His mighty delivering loving power. This powerful devotional is recommended for anyone facing addictions - whether cocaine, alcohol, pot, pornography, food, cigarettes, or gambling. Isaiah stresses that if readers pray daily, they will be drawn closer to Jesus Christ through a renewed mind and a transformed, grateful heart.

I hope readers gain more faith in Christ,” states the author. “I hope they learn to discipline themselves to prayerfully read the Bible each day, pray for others, help those in need, gain accountability partners, find a great Bible-teaching church, and share the gospel with others.”

Isaiah Thomas Matthews is a born again child of God – a recovering addict – who learned to share how to have a daily, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. He attended Celebrate Recovery from 2008 to 2015 and has been involved with Credo Recovery of IL since 2006. Isaiah is currently a student of Global University's Berean School of the Bible, studying from home to become a licensed, certified, and/or ordained minister. According to Isaiah, it was not his idea to write this book. It was God's plan. This book was written out of his quiet time with God and it evolved to sharing it with others by email. Ultimately, God showed him the need for the book.
