Change the Mind, Change the Man: A Scriptural Study Guide - Paperback

by Paul Hainline (Author)

The book tells you where to look. The Bible tells you what to see.

Change the Mind, Change the Man: A Scriptural Study Guide is the companion

volume to Change the Mind, Change the Man - a ten-week Scripture study built

for the people whom addiction has brought into the same room.

The book is not the curriculum. The Bible is. Every week walks through one

chapter, but every question sends the group back into the biblical text.

Every discussion begins and ends in Scripture, with the chapters of the book

serving only to point readers to where the question is being asked and

answered in God's Word.

Each week includes two parallel tracks of questions - one for the person in

the struggle and one for the family carrying the weight. Both tracks meet in

the same room, because addiction is a shared story and these two audiences

belong in the same conversation. The guide does not separate them. It brings

them to the table at the same time.

Genesis 39, Daniel 3:16-18, 2 Timothy 2:22, Romans 12, Ephesians 4, and the

parable of the prodigal son anchor the study. The questions push readers to

examine the text rather than rely on commentary, with space provided for

written responses week to week.

Designed for prison ministries, reentry programs, recovery houses,

congregational Bible studies, and family devotional time - wherever people

are willing to open the text and stay in it.

Scripture quotations from the New American Standard Bible.
