Turning the Tables on Gambling - Hope and Help for an Addictive Behavior

Gambling in some form is now legal in all but three states, and the Internet has made it more accessible than ever.

Gregory Jantz, a psychotherapist specializing in addictive behaviors, presents a Christian view of the habit in Turning the Tables on Gambling: Hope and Help for an Addictive Behavior. He discusses in great detail the wide spectrum of gamblers, from those who gamble for occasional recreation to those who are truly addicted. He challenges Christians to ask themselves hard questions about gambling are lotteries, which disproportionately affect the poor, appropriate for Christians to participate in? What about pyramid schemes, which can turn family and friends into "just another source of needed cash"?

Jantz pulls no punches, making this candid and informed book a much-needed resource for Christians.
