Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-24 00:00:00 Sean Ross Easy read. There wasn't a lot of new information in here for me, but still it is a good look at our appetites and how we can control them or create new ones. What I liked about this book is that it was about appetites in general and therefore hit a broad swath of types of addiction, such as gambling, over eating, sexual addictions, power, and codependency. There are also loads of examples. There is also an appendix that has 12 steps to successfully feeding your appetites. I think this is a pretty good resource for ministry if only for the examples and the easy manner in which it discusses the issues.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-04-19 00:00:00 Thomas Christenson You can learn from this book if you read it introspectively. You need to consider what your own appetites are and ponder how they have a hold on you and what you are willing to do for them to not have such a stronghold on your life. I appreciated what the author had to share about his own story and thought it a helpful book.
