The Ministry Leader's Manual provides Biblical resources for achieving freedom from bondage to addictions through faith

in and obedience to God's Word. If we don't know what God expects and promises, how can we hope to experience complete healing?

TMEW is not just another Christian "recovery" program for addictions and codependency. We encourage spiritual sanctification by the Holy Spirit. "The Most Excellent Way" is a psychotherapy-free, twelve-step-free ministry.
