Ninety percent of alcoholics return to drinking within one year of committing to treatment. By examining the issues encountered during early recovery, Beyond Denial takes a fresh look at chemical dependency and other addictions with special focus on this distressingly high relapse rate. The book is designed to take up where traditional treatment often leaves off. The important role of the family is emphasized with specific chapters devoted to denial and the oppositional personality, codependency, adult children of alcoholics, and how the family can deal with the addict who isn't ready to seek help. The book stresses the view that addiction is a developmentally acquired condition which has its roots in the family of origin. Alcoholism and other addictions are viewed as family centered diseases that call for major changes in those whose lives are touched by the addict as well as in the addict himself.

Each reading includes a Scripture verse and encouraging words that speak of Christ as our anchor, the treasure of God's love, and His lasting peace.

History

"It is very profitable to have realized what one is; but do not add to that weakness, which is inseparable from our human nature, an estrangement from the very means of strength. Only hearken inwardly to him and despise boldly that which is despicable." Above all, Francois Fenelon desired to love God. Out of this love came a desire to share the truth of a life lived in the light of the Cross. His individual writings document his desire to find truth through the love of his Creator; corporately, they comprise a masterpiece of a recorded spiritual journey. The Royal Way of the Cross is written with an unblinking honesty that distinguishes it from the murky intellectualism that pervaded the time, and it is this truthfulness that gives this work its enduring appeal. Arrestingly written, The Royal Way is an exceptional account of a man who saw the hand of God in all things and was intimately acquainted with "the royal way of the Cross."
