Bøker av Gary Bentley

Few people have what it takes to become a millionaire. Even fewer are able to achieve that kind of success without a little help from the "silver spoon." Gary Bentley is one of those rare individuals who overcame an upbringing in the foster-care system and found his way to a comfortable life of wealth. Along the way, he discovered life principles which have given him success. Friend and university professor, Wayne Rollins, has helped document the entrepreneurial principles that have guided Bentley's decision-making. These same principles can set you on a path to a more fulfilling life to find your very own Million Dollar Turtles.

"Any attempt to 'rehabilitate' someone without the saving power of God is only a temporary fix." In Rehab Is Not for the Soul: A Journey Out of Addiction, Gary Bentley makes a poignant and highly personal case that recovery from drug and alcohol addiction is possible only through spiritual surrender to God. Gary Bentley was an alcoholic at age 16 and was jailed many times over the next 18 years for fraud and drug-related crimes. He saw his work and home life fall apart as a result of his addictions, and he tried secular rehab programs in always-futile attempts to "come to his senses," as the prodigal son did in Luke 15:17. Yet as he shows, "rehab" only means to restore oneself to an earlier condition-and what the addict needs is a spiritual heart transplant. If you or someone you love is suffering from addiction, Gary reaches out to you with his example of success. Thanks to a spiritual awakening and the yearlong, free recovery program offered by the worldwide Christian program, Teen Challenge, he shows how biblical principles, wise family support, and faith can create total transformation. BIO: Gary Bentley came into the Teen Challenge program in 1997 after 18 years of substance abuse and four secular rehabilitation centers. After losing everything because of his addictions, he was homeless on the streets of New Orleans. Today he is a husband, father of one, and grandfather of two. Gary serves as the COO of Louisiana Teen Challenge and also helps train leaders for Teen Challenge in Russia.
