Craving for Love: Relationship Addiction, Homosexuality, and the God Who Heals by Briar Whitehead by Briar Whitehead

Today's church is filled with self-gratifying obsessive behaviors. We ask too much of our relationships, expecting them to deliver meaning, which only Jesus can give. We set up food, work, people, and money as replacements for the one and only true God. And then we are disillusioned when our needs aren't met. In this book, born from the author's own experiences as a relationship addict, Briar Whitehead examines the whys of addiction, the affects of addiction, the steps toward healing, and the role of the church in it all. The author asserts that homsexuality is one of the clearest expressions of the tendency to mKe someone else an "all-in-all" in the attempt to relieve emotional pain.
