Trent Childers writes from genuine lived experience and grounds everything squarely in Scripture, which gives the book authenticity for its intended audience β€” Christians in recovery who want a faith-centered path, not a clinical one. The dossier is thin on reviews, though, and without knowing how well the practical guidance actually holds up, it's hard to distinguish it from the many similar titles in the faith-based recovery space. If this is your niche and you trust Start2Finish Books, it may be worth a look; otherwise the lack of outside validation makes it hard to rank.
