Subtracting Life: How Addiction Steals What God Meant to Give

What if the very thing you think is helping you... is destroying you? Addiction doesn't show up all at once. It starts small. Feels manageable. Looks harmless. But over time... it begins to take. Your peace. Your health. Your finances. Your relationships. Your future. Addiction doesn't add to your life-it subtracts from it. But there is a way out. In Subtracting Life, Pastor John E. Miller delivers a powerful, real-world, Christ-centered path to freedom-written not just from ministry experience, but from personal victory over addiction. This is not a book of shame. This is a book of hope... truth... and transformation.
