Counterfeit Comforts
Autor R Scotten Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 aug 2016
When the pressures of life become overwhelming, our first instinct is to seek out comfort. From turning to our go-to foods or shopping or exercise or favorite books or television shows--even alcohol, smoking, or cutting--we look to what is around us, seeking refuge and release from the stress. While not all these things are inherently bad, when we continually retreat first to the temporary relief these counterfeit comforts offer, they can--and will--become addictive and actually enslave us.
With grace and warmth, author Robia Scott shows how true healing and lasting satisfaction can be found only as we learn to transfer our dependence from counterfeit comforts onto our one true Comforter: the Holy Spirit. From battling her own counterfeits, such as anorexia, body image, and success, Scott leads you step by step through the process of breaking the knee-jerk pattern of responding, reacting, and running to the counterfeits. Instead, she shows how you can simply come--without striving or trying harder--and enter his presence to experience the true comfort your soul is longing for.

Where do you turn for comfort?
Most of us have our familiar go-to stress relievers: a pint of ice cream, a trip to the mall, exercise, television, a glass of wine--or three. While outlets such as these provide temporary relief, none of them offers the lasting satisfaction we yearn for. And before we know it, we can find ourselves enslaved by addictive and harmful behaviors. But there is a way out.
With grace and transparency, author Robia Scott gently guides you step-by-step through the process of transformation. Through sharing her journey of overcoming her own counterfeits--such as smoking, excessive spending, and obsession with food and body image--she imparts the practical, biblical tools you need in order to break free from the destructive mindsets and counterfeit comforts in your life.
Discover the healing and freedom you long for when you learn how to transfer dependence onto the one "true" Comforter--the Holy Spirit.
"Specific, creative and very practical insights that will help anyone struggling get on the path toward healing and recovery of their God-given destiny!"--Dr. Ed Silvoso, president, Harvest Evangelism and the International Transformation Network
