Summary

  • Author has personal and professional experience with addiction. Nathan Detering is a senior minister and his brother died from a drug overdose so he has experience helping families, including his own, with the immense challenges that come from loving someone with addiction.
  • Author grapples with acculturated responses to addiction from his own perspective as a white minister and shares the perspective of a Black church leader in the book.
  • Prevalent—40.3 million people in the US meet the criteria for a substance use disorder (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2020). And more than half of adult Americans have a close relative with a drinking problem or know someone who is in recovery, according to estimates provided by The World Health Organization.
