Operation Wounded Cross is a two-book, Christ-centered recovery and discipleship series written for individuals struggling with addiction, the families who love them, and the churches called to walk alongside both.
This series addresses addiction not merely as a behavioral problem, but as a discipleship crisis-one that demands truth, grace, wisdom, boundaries, and the transforming power of the gospel. Drawing deeply from Scripture (Genesis through Revelation), these books reject shame-based labels while refusing to soften the call to repentance, accountability, and holiness.
Book I establishes a biblical framework for recovery grounded in identity in Christ, repentance, forgiveness, vigilance, and community care. It directly engages the tension between modern recovery language (once an addict, always an addict) and Scripture's declaration of new creation in Christ, offering a careful, faithful, and pastoral resolution.
Book II extends the work into caregiving, boundaries, accountability, discipleship, and multiplication. Written especially for caretakers, spouses, parents, mentors, and church leaders, it addresses how to love without enabling, speak truth without cruelty, and remain faithful when outcomes are slow or uncertain.
Together, these books offer:
A Christ-anchored alternative to shame-based recovery
Practical wisdom for addiction involving alcohol, drugs, and sexual sin
Biblical guidance for families and caregivers navigating pain, fear, and hope
Church-ready curriculum, discussion guides, and facilitator resources
A call to move from recovery to discipleship, and from discipleship to mission
This series does not replace professional treatment or medical care. Instead, it equips readers and churches to walk wisely, humbly, and faithfully in the light of Scripture-trusting Christ alone to save, heal, and transform.
