Understanding the Addict’s Heart

Thomas Clements shares how God’s hand showed itself in his healing, sobriety, and ongoing recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. The experience of the love of God brought Thomas to found a healing ministry, Zenith Ministries, to serve men and women, ages 18-45, in a mission “to build community, help the hurting find healing, and accompany each other to living life to the full.” God wants to heal those trapped in addiction and lead them to a beautiful life of freedom, which Thomas describes in his e-book, Seven Steps to Overcome Addiction.
