About This Book
The first volume of The Substitute asked a simple but powerful question:
What is the addiction substituting for?
This second volume explores a different question:
What is happening inside the heart of the person who needs the substitute?
Through discussions of wounds, shame, fear, loneliness, identity, recovery, healing, and faith, readers are invited to look beyond the addiction and discover the deeper realities that often shape the struggle. Beneath every addiction is a person. Beneath every person is a story. Beneath every story is a heart searching for peace, belonging, purpose, and hope.
