     After several weeks, I am fulfilling a commitment to Marilyn Lancelot to publish a review of her book titled, Gripped By Gambling.  This book relates Marilyn’s personal journey with the experience of an addiction to gambling.  It was written by a woman for women (but men will benefit too).  She reveals the unbelievable costs associated with a gambling addiction.  She relates her feelings and emotions as she gets caught up in the excitement of gambling and then the destruction it brought to her life.  Many share her plight.  Many will relate.  We live in a culture of addiction.  Marilyn has been addicted to alcohol, food, drugs, and gambling.  She has broken free from these addictions and offers help and hope in her book.  The book does not focus primarily on her spiritual journey, though her belief in God was an important aspect of her recovery.  I would like to point each of you to the only true remedy for sin–the grace of God manifested through the cross of Jesus Christ.  Love, faith and obedience to God’s Will will secure true freedom from sin (John 3:36; 8:32; 14:15).
