Description:

"Opioids claim the lives of 115 people per day. One of them could have been me,” writes Timothy McMahan King in Addiction Nation: What the Opioid Crisis Reveals about Us.

We have become a society not only damaged by addiction but fueled by it. In Addiction Nation, King investigates the ways that addiction robs us of freedom and holds us back from being fully human. Through stories, theology, philosophy, and cultural analysis, King examines today’s most common addictions and their destructive consequences. Join us for a book launch party and conversation with Rev. Jim Wallis.
