In his new book and documentary, 121: Overcoming Drug Addiction by Faith, Rev. Burton Barr Jr. traces the steps of how he climbed from rock bottom to full recovery. The film can be streamed and the book can be purchased at 121-Movie.com
At the age of 20, Barr was held down by a group of friends while they injected heroin into his veins, which started his 22-year drug addiction. At the height of his addiction and during his darkest hour, his father came to him.
He didn't start preaching at Barr, telling him that he needed to quit. He didn't talk about the hurt and the pain that Barr was causing his family.
He didn't even tell Barr about the damage that he was doing to himself. He just opened the Bible to a certain scripture, gave it to Barr, and told him to read that scripture every morning before he left home. The scripture was Psalms 121.
