KEPT
Sobriety, Grace, and the Hand That Won't Let Go
Every addict knows the arithmetic of white knuckles: add up enough good days and maybe you have earned your place back. KEPT begins somewhere else — with the confession that sobriety was never self-rescue, and that the hand holding you is not your own.
This is a book about addiction written under the cross rather than on the self-help shelf. It takes the wreckage seriously, takes the daily fight seriously, and refuses to flinch from relapse — and through all of it, it keeps pointing to the Christ who keeps sinners He has baptized, fed, and named as His own.
For the Christian in recovery, for the one not yet sober, and for the family praying through the night: the Gospel here is not “try harder.” It is that you are kept.
KEPT has a companion volume, THORN, for the broader struggle against besetting sin.
