Addiction exists when a person is internally compelled to dedicate their energy to things that do not represent their true desire. To be more precise, addiction is a condition of compulsion, obsession, or preoccupation that enslaves a person's will and desire. The goal of this book is to help believers in the local church use biblical principles to provide necessary assistance to those at various stages of addiction. Various aspects of the addiction problem are discussed, as well as ways to help victims trapped in the web of vice. Instructions are also included on how to structure a pastoral model for believers in the local care of suffering people. "Our society today faces a frightening dilemma. The problem of addictions has made the existence of many barren and meaningless. The contents of this book will assist those who wish to offer understanding, love, and appropriate counseling to those who suffer. Churches, pastors, and concerned laypeople will benefit from these well-founded principles. They will fulfill the implications of the holistic Gospel for the benefit of those in bondage and need." Thomas F. Zimmerma.

Who will I marry? This is one of the crucial questions young people ask themselves today. Most of them want to get married and be happy. God wants it that way. However, the decision that leads to choosing a partner is not always easy. There is great confusion today on the topic of love and marriage: it is the result of tabloid stories, pornographic films, and the spread of certain erroneous cultural concepts and aberrant life models promoted by many famous personalities. The word "love" is one of the most distorted in our vocabulary. The term "love" has been prostituted. People believe that love is synonymous with sex.
