Contact: Michael O'Brien, 650-353-3240, press@nexusmediamanagement.com
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb.21, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- www.thornsintheheart.com, an online community and website for Christian's dealing with addiction and or pain was launched on February 15th, 2011. Since the launch, the site has received over 7,000 visitors to the website and over 2,800 subscribers to its Facebook Fan page.
The website is based on Dr. Steven Stiles'(photo) groundbreaking book Thorns in the Heart, A Christian's Guide to dealing with Addiction. It provides a forum and community for Christian's dealing with addiction, compulsion, co-dependency, alcoholism and other problems to share their experience, strength and hope in beginning or continuing their journey in recovery.
Thorns in the Heart, written by Dr. Steven Stiles, is a Christian's Guide to Dealing with Addiction. Thorns in the Heart is about Addiction and Pain. For most people addiction is easier to bury or ignore than deal with. Yet, it's only a matter of time before many of the things we run from must be faced. But how?
In Thorns in the Heart, Steven Stiles cites actual cases to expose the physical, emotional and spiritual vulnerability of Christians when they avoid dealing with addictions and pain. But more than just case examples, this book provides those who suffer a path to recovery. It offers steps to recognizing and dealing with addictions and pain through topics such as: Addiction, Compulsion and Pain; Pain, Emotions and the Body; Coping with Depression; Co-Dependency and Pain; Pain from God's Perspective; and Coping with Compulsive Behaviors.
Dr. Stiles explains there are no easy answers, but through understanding pain, addiction, and how God wants His people to respond, Christians can begin a journey of new hope and purpose.
