Victor Torres was a gang warlord and heroin addict in New York City’s violent streets. At the age of twelve, he stabbed a young man. He quickly headed into a downward spiral. His mother believed that through her prayers, God would spare her son from this dark lifestyle. Those prayers led Victor to find help at Teen Challenge. Through the ministry of David Wilkerson, founder of Teen Challenge, and Nicky Cruz, Victor came to realize that God had a purpose for his life. Victor has just released his new book “Reaching Your Addicted Loved One”. Without pulling punches or promising easy answers, Victor provides wisdom and expertise that can lead you toward freedom. God did not create your loved one to be an addict or a loser. On the contrary, God created him or her for a better life. Although, for the moment, it may seem like you are losing your loved one, they still have a God-given destiny and a purpose. No matter how bad the picture may look now, there is always hope.
