Today's insight from Thorns in the Heart

Perhaps the greatest obstacle to recovery lies in our fear of trusting God with our failed behavior. Our tendency is to try to fix our problems rather than to focus on help. When in trouble, we tend to choose any relief that will take the pressure off and leave our accustomed life-style untouched. -Thorns in the Heart http://www.thornsintheheart.com/

About the Book

Addiction and pain. For most people they are easier to bury or ignore than deal with. Yet, it's only a matter of time before many of the things we run from must be faced. But how? In Thorns in the Heart, Dr. Steven Stiles cites actual cases to expose the physical, emotional and spiritual vulnerability of Christians when they avoid dealing with pain. But more than just case examples, this book provides those who suffer a path to recovery. It offers steps to recognizing and dealing with pain through topics such as: Addiction, Compulsion and Pain; Pain, Emotions and the Body; Coping with Depression; Co-Dependency and Pain; Pain from God's Perspective; and Coping with Compulsive Behaviors.

Dr. Stiles explains there are no easy answers, but through understanding pain, addiction, and how God wants His people to respond. Christians can begin a journey of new hope and purpose.
