Jeff Brooks is an author and pastor living in West Ashley along with his wife of 23 years Robin Brooks. His book Holding On For Life is an engaging true story with colorful elements of humor, inspiration, and hope. On Friday, Aug. 1, from 7:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., Brooks will be signing copies of his book at a meet and greet at Sojourn Coffee, located at 1664 Old Towne Road.
In Holding On For Life Brooks peels back the mysterious curtain of addictive thinking and brings a dynamic and candid illustration of his experiences through an early life encumbered by fear, abuse, and addiction. The details of his arduous journey through an elusive recovery reveal God’s steady and loving hand over a life lived in rebellion. Brooks says the book is a must-read for anyone who is, or knows, someone struggling with addiction or spiritual identity, or who works with those in spiritual and psychological bondage.
Brooks holds a degree in psychology from Limestone College, a graduate degree in Healthcare Administration from the University of South Carolina, and a graduate Certificate of Christian Studies from Asbury Theological Seminary, where he is currently enrolled in the Doctor of Ministry program.
Brooks also holds professional credentials in addiction counseling and relapse prevention and has worked in the field of behavioral health for more than 20 years. He currently serves as president of 3 Days Rising, a ministry dedicated to promoting the intimate and restorative love of God to every human being. He also serves on the board of the West Ashley Optimist Club.
