Product Description
by Quentin Genuis (Author)
Working as an emergency physician at the epicenter of the opioid crisis, Dr. Quentin Genuis witnesses the devastating suffering caused by addiction and the incredible resilience of the affected persons. Drawing from real stories and grounded in rich theological insight, he argues that addiction is neither simple choice nor disease but something more nuanced and complex. Rather than moralizing or offering quick fixes, Dr. Genuis issues a timely call for radical hospitality, deep friendship, and abiding hope. This book shows how a humanizing view of addiction illuminates clear and practical ways that families, frontline workers, and faith communities can work to promote recovery. In a world too often numbed by grim headlines, he reminds us that every life is charged with dignity and deserves the chance for restoration.
