""Gritty, engaging, and powerful, Dr. Grover's Why I Help People Take Drugs confronts injustice and indifference with compassion and care. This provocative and compelling book challenges Christians to see addiction medicine as a true practice of following Jesus, offering hope and dignity to the marginalized."" --Benjamin Perrin, author Overdose: Heartbreak and Hope in Canada's Opioid Crisis ""Why I Help People Take Drugs is thoughtful and introspective, using Dr. Grover's own experiences to illustrate key concepts of addiction medicine that are commonly misunderstood or misrepresented. While it's written to her fellow Christians, the ideas are understandable by people of any, or no, particular faith. It is my hope that this book stimulates conversation, helping to shift public discourse, and perhaps even policy, on substance use to be more compassionate and evidence informed."" --Erin Knight, MD, president-elect, Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine
