Escape from Codependent Christianity

About this book

Many Christians are painfully codependent and never get free. A codependent lifestyle is a miserable fearful life. From never feeling secure to the need to always be in control the extremes of codependency fuel the chaos and pain in our lives. In Escape from Codependent Christianity Dr. James B. Richards examines this common phenomenon in light of the truth of Scripture. Codependency is not complicated. It involves depending upon others for what we have no right to expect from them. Codependents often fall into the trap of living on other peoples approval for their own sense of self-worth. They may depend on others for decisions or happiness. No matter what the needs are the key to codependency involves trying to get from others what people cannot truly give.
