Sober Mercies: How Love Caught Up with a Christian Drunk Audiobook (Free)

Where do you turn for hope when you already have the answer–but the answer isn’t working?

Like a long-time Christian, Heather Kopp under no circumstances expected to become an out-of-control alcoholic who kept private stashes of booze all over the place–tucked behind books in her research, zipped right into a particular compartment in her oversized purse, at the back of her closet stuffed inside her boot styles.

Even as her career and relationship teetered around the brink, Kopp couldn’t get a grip, desperately hiding the true extent about Sober Mercies: How Love Caught Up having a Christian Drunk of her drinking from the rest of the world–her hubby included. During the day she published books about God and prayer and family. At night she’d locked herself in her bathroom to guzzle chardonnay.

For her, as for many Christians who have a problem with addiction, overwhelming shame and confusion only made things worse. Why wasn’t her faith enough to save lots of her? Why didn’t repentance, Bible reading and prayer function? Where was God?

Meanwhile, mainly because she watched in horror, her grown son descended into his own nightmare of drugs and alcohol. She feared for his lifestyle, yet she couldn’t stop drinking long enough to greatly help him–or find a way out for herself.

Before day everything changed.

Participating, funny and bracingly honest, Kopp shares her remarkable journey into darkness…and back again to the light again. Her story reveals the initial challenges and religious conundrums Christians encounter if they become ensnared in an addiction, and the redemption that’s possible when we finally reach the end of ourselves.

As you follow Kopp’s sincere, stumbling trip toward freedom and a deeply satisfying romantic relationship with God, you’ll find renewed hope–and practical actions of recovery–for your own journey.
