During the day she wrote books about God and prayer and family. At night she&#8217;d locked herself in her bathroom to guzzle chardonnay.<\/p>\n<p>For her, as for many Christians who struggle with addiction, overwhelming shame and confusion only made things worse. Why wasn&#8217;t her faith enough to save her? Why didn&#8217;t repentance, Bible reading and prayer work? Where was God?<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as she watched in horror, her grown son descended into his own nightmare of drugs and alcohol. She feared for his life, yet she couldn&#8217;t stop drinking long enough to help him&#8211;or find a way out for herself.<\/p>\n<p>Until the day everything changed.<\/p>\n<p>Engaging, funny and bracingly honest, Kopp shares her remarkable journey into darkness&#8230;and back to the light again. Her story reveals the unique challenges and spiritual conundrums Christians face when they become ensnared in an addiction, and the redemption that&#8217;s possible when we finally reach the end of ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>If you love Jesus but shop too much, drink too much, eat too much, crush on men who aren&#8217;t your husband, or otherwise fixate on doing things you hate but can&#8217;t stop doing, SOBER MERCIES is for you.<\/p>\n<p>As you follow Kopp&#8217;s sincere, stumbling journey toward freedom and a deeply satisfying relationship with God, you&#8217;ll find renewed hope&#8211;and practical steps of recovery&#8211;for your own journey..
