If you or someone close to you is a Christian afflicted with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Waging War against OCD: A Christian Approach to Victory provides a lifeline. Authored by an OCD sufferer who uses Scripture as a sword in the battle against the disorder, this book provides comfort and hope for those mired in the confusion and hopelessness of OCD. The author demonstrates how the methods for fighting this disorder all originate in Scripture, the ultimate source of all wisdom and power. Sufferers can use these truths as an anchor during their darkest and weakest moments, knowing that God's Word prescribes a path to victory over torturous thought patterns, crippling fears, enslaving rituals, and debilitating guilt.
For OCD sufferers and those that come alongside them, this book provides rare insight into the thoughts of an OCD sufferer, shared in raw and honest detail by the author throughout his entire life story, beginning with his first memories of OCD at age five. For many years, the author asked for wisdom from God, and this book is based on the wisdom he received. It is his deepest hope that the lessons he learned will bring comfort and victory to all Christian OCD sufferers-and to those who know, love, counsel, and shepherd them.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5)
