In an age where hope is so desperately needed, Dr. Shaw points those trapped in an opioid addiction and their loved ones to the God of hope. With great compassion, he addresses the heart of pain and suffering, why the struggle is real, and how God’s message is different from all other addiction messaging. You cannot hope in anything or anyone other than Christ alone, whose Word never changes.
“Mankind’s creativity in inventing and pursuing new ways to get high makes awareness and prevention extremely difficult. But God’s Word never changes. I hope your local church will use these booklets in The Transformation Series to keep the dialogue moving from education and prevention toward the biblical perspective of Hope for addictive behavior through the good news of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
~ Dr. Mark E. Shaw
After spending time in prayer and careful consideration on how the Lord would want to move forward our publishing ministry, we are delighted to announce that Focus Publishing will become an imprint of Shepherd Press. As some of our administration have faced health challenges, the Lord provided the opportunity to open a discussion with Shepherd Press—and to explore ways they could be involved in continuing our ministry and in providing the resources many of you have faithfully used.
Shepherd Press is rooted in the same values that identify our culture and resources. They seek to support the church by providing gospel-centered resources that, as has been our mission over our years of ministry, challenge believers toward Christlikeness.
As we navigate this transition, our website will continue to operate as normal, allowing you to place orders through Focuspublishing.com. Shipment of orders may experience some delays, as we process changes in inventory location. However, we are working to ensure the delay is minimal.
Shepherd Press has expressed its excitement to serve you and to continue to make our resources available. They are working diligently to make our books available on their website, and you will be notified as soon as the migration process is complete. You will be added to their newsletter list so you can easily receive updates.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can contact Shepherd Press, and they will be glad to assist you.
We are very thankful for your faithful interest in our ministry, and we are excited to see how the Lord will continue to use our resources to encourage you and many others.
Here is the fuel that the local church needs to start a transformation revolution that is far-reaching and effective beyond sobriety. The important NEXT STEP beyond the goal of recovery is the eternal goal of TRANSFORMATION through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s Word!
