My friend is a Christian. She has also relapsed.
What sort of information do I need? I am reading Mark Shaw's "The Heart of Addiction".
Whatever it is you can recommend will need to have scriptural support for its ideas or she will dismiss any idea she does not like "out of hand". She is a "proof text" kind of gal, she will submit to scripture, or at least she wants to, but she doesn't care about "man's philosophies" or that sort of thing.
Anyway, what resources are good for me to look through and guide her to. She is resistant to going to meetings now, believing God will get her sorted out, but if she needs more, I need to be ready.
She is a work friend, she is does not go to my church, so there is no authority over her that I can appeal to. Other than our Master. Which is more than enough, but I would like to reduce her suffering as much as possible.
