Books on spiritual freedom/deliverance/addictions
Dr. Neil Anderson: The Bondage Breaker. This is my go-to recommendation for anyone wanting help with the mind-games of cyclical sin, depression, anxiety, fear, addiction, etc. If there are dark influences that seem to be dominating your well-being, check this book out and focus on working your way through to the end. I have purchased this book for pastors and individuals and ministry libraries around the world. I can’t say enough about it—very solid, Biblically-anchored freedom shepherding. (There’s even a youth version that is also excellent, entitled Stomping Out the Darkness.
Dr. Neil Anderson: Letting Go of Fear: Put Aside Your Anxious Thoughts and Embrace God's Perspective. Neil has written a lot of excellent resources; with anxiety on the rise in so much of society today, this book is another great resource. I strongly recommend it.
