Unending Hope for the Exhausted Addict (2008)
A restlessness writhes deep within the soul. Whether enslaved to raging
masters like drugs or alcohol or hidden destroyers like internet porn or
food obsessions, the exhausted addict knows the relentless torture of
striving to break free only to fail time after time. How to end this mad
rush toward destruction?
With compelling illustrations and down-to-earth language, Alan
Lester shares compassionate, candid, and biblical strategies to help
addicts embrace the Savior's life-renewing grace and hurl aside the
chains of destruction.

Hi Alan,
It doesn't matter whether you're Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Conservative, or Liturgical you need to be aware of what God is doing in these days through the Messianic movement. The more we understand the roots of our faith in Judaism, the more we can understand what God wants us to know to make that faith grow.
It doesn't matter whether you like rock, country, contemporary, gospel, or hip hop, you need to grow in your musical tastes, and sample the rich tapestry of Messianic Jewish music that is available today. To that end, I would like to introduce you to two amazing Messianic artists, whose musical style is very unique, and totally wonderful.
Deborah Kline-Iantorno's music springs from her Jewish and Puerto Rican roots, and her years as a night club singer. Her songs are exciting, her voice is gorgeous, and the message she brings is right on.
Straight from Jerusalem, Israel, the songs of Rivka Whitten are alive and fresh. Her music is a unique mix of Yemenite Israeli vocals along with rhythms from around the world, and a gifted group of instrumentalists.
Please come on by, and check out a couple of amazing songs that I have put on my page, then you can go to www.newfaithfavorites.com and listen to all of them.
Thanks,
Jim
