Synopsis

After 17 years of heavy drinking, Rory MaGrath found freedom from his addiction to alcohol a practical approach that helped him access the power of God. Since then, he has discovered that the principles he learned can bring breakthrough into recovery from all kinds of addictive behaviours, negative characteristics and habitual patterns of sin. Good, clear teaching and real-life examples are aligned with Bible verses to help in recovery, as Rory openly describes his endeavours to fight alcoholism. “An excellent manual for churches that do not understand how to deal with this problem in their congregations, as well as families facing it at home. [This book will also help those] dealing with other forms of dependency problems such as gambling, smoking and other addictive forms of behaviour.”

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Rory was born in 1972 in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa, and grew up in the province of Natal, in a town called Ladysmith. His father was an Assemblies of God pastor (currently retired) in various South African towns. Rory was involved in the SCA (Students Christian Association) at school and was made chairman of the SCA in his final year. He then went on to do courses in both Homiletics and Hermeneutics within the church. After completing his military conscrip-tion in the South African Defence Force's Engineering corps, he studied for three years as a Medical Tech., then after six years switched careers and went into construction. In 2010, he completed a certificate in Bible Theology through SATS (South African Theological Seminary). Rory married his wife Pauline in May 2009, and they moved to the UK in October 2016. They now reside in Leeds, West Yorkshire, where Rory is actively involved in their local Baptist church, Lister Hill. He works full-time as a Construction Site Manager, whilst in his free time he works to help people overcome various dependencies, as well as continuing to write. From 1990 to 2006, Rory drifted away from the Lord, and for seventeen years his life changed to one of 'living hell'. The road back was painful and long, but through it, he experienced an amazing miracle that brought him into the close and personal relationship that he has with God today. Since then, he has been involved with, and supported, many recovery institutions and has started a few of these Christian support groups in various churches. With it has come an overwhelming desire to help people struggling with dependencies and those who seem to battle to experience a closeness with God.
