How to Prevent and Correct "A Pain in the Gut" : 2/28/01

This book presents a distinctively different approach for prevention and correction of all unhealthy behavior. At any level or age, unhealthy behavior is primarily motivated by "pain in the gut." Such behavior is not only a sign that pain is present but it is also an attempt to get relief from it. A change in behavior, evidenced by renewal and recovery, will come only after the pain ceases to dictate behavior. Unhealthy pain in the gut can be corrected and prevented only by receiving and giving "appropriate love", which always initially comes to us from another person. Therefore, offering appropriate love defines and declares the purpose of every person, family, true friend, counselor, religious group and all renewal or recovery programs. This staightforward and simple approach was developed and successfully practiced by the author during his more than 40 years as a therapist, counselor, chaplain and pastor.

A Christian Viewpoint

Addiction destroys lives. Kicking the addiction can help repair the destruction and give new hope for the future. Sadly, too many people fail in their bid to find that new life. However, those programs that have God and faith at their center succeed where so many others do not. Joseph C. Way's book, A Pain in the Gut, shows how to put God and faith at the center of a recovery program to kick the habit and kick it for good. If you or someone you love needs to find that new path, give A Pain in the Gut a try. It may be the key to open that new door.
