Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernest J. Gregory served his fellowman for many years as a distinguished surgeon and breast cancer specialist. In the late 60s and early 70s, he felt a strong calling to use his medical skills to help the huge numbers of people who were becoming addicted to drugs, heroin primarily. He was inspired to embark on this endeavor by reading The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson.At the time Dr. Gregory took on this challenge, little was known about how to help a person who was addicted to heroin. His faith-based TOUCH Program was a pioneer work and one that has been an inspiring model for others to follow.This book is the historical account of how the program was established, how it was administered, and what the results were. It is a valuable tool for any health professional who is working to help those suffering with addictions. It is also a helpful source of practical information for those who are dealing with a family member or friend who is an addict.The book is forthright and painfully honest in its description of the addict, and what the TOUCH Program discovered to be some of the causes for addiction. It does not hold out false hope, but it is a book based on the bright hope that through faith in Jesus Christ there is the power to heal the hearts of those men and women who are willing to cast all their care on Him.
