Turning the Tables on Gambling
 Hope and Help for an Addictive Behavior

This book tackles the difficult questions of why individuals are lured to gambling and how to combat this destructive addiction. Drawing from true stories, Dr. Jantz reveals the truth about the dangers of gambling and how to understand what the gambler is actually searching for. He identifies ways our culture supports the gambling lifestyle, what the Bible has to say about gambling, healthy ways to view and manage money, and making lifestyle choices that will lead to freedom.

In Turning the Tables on Gambling, you'll explore the answers to questions such as:

  • What is my risk of becoming addicted to gambling?
  • Is playing the lottery or making a casual wager harmless?
  • At what point does gambling become destructive?
  • If gambling is a problem for me or someone I know, what can I do?
