Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave

I mentioned this book in a previous post, but "Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave", by Ed Welch, is definitely worth mentioning again. It's a bit medically focused (targeting alcoholism, for example), but this only lends itself well to practical application.

As the lead pastor of my church often says, while this book is about addictions, it is really broadly applicable as a book about Godly living and discipleship. It takes a long look at the root cause of addiction in our lives, our sinful selves, and gives practical advice about confronting sin, finding help, and focusing on God first (not just getting better).

I'd recommend this book to everyone, as we all struggle with addictions to ourselves and our own pleasures. It's a good read.
