Summary: "Tearing Down The Wall Between Christ & Recovery"
Review: We have found this to be a an awesome teaching tool and are pleased to recommend this version of the Bible to those we meet in Christ Centered 12-Step Recovery. Our Group really enjoys the way it is put together. Especially the way the little blue boxes, out to the side of scriptures, connect the steps up. Which is exactly what we purpose to do. Connecting the scriptures up with the steps and the steps up with the scriptures. To encourage those in recovery to come up higher in their relationship with God and The Lord Jesus Christ, by His Holy Spirit. With this is the powerful life connections which are well written and usually right on time. And also the daily devotions, that are also deeply written and felt. One other thing our group has particularly enjoyed is the history of 12-step recovery being layed out with the information of how the steps came right out of the Bible, in the Original Oxford Group. We have been given an awesome revelation as to what the conflict generally seems to be. Since we know people in recovery who do not want to hear anything about Jesus. And we also know people in Christ, who do not want to hear anything about recovery. We began to see, that if a person has really worked the steps of recovery, 1)I Can't! 2)He Can! & 3)I Know I'll Let Him!, then they have and are experiencing God's love and healing, whether they give God the Praise, Glory, and Honor or not, "it is still His and His alone!" And if someone is in Christ Jesus, they have worked the steps, whether they call them steps or not. By simply admitting they are powerless over sin and have need of a Saviour. That they come to believe Jesus can save them. And that they make a decision to turn their lives and their will over to the care of God, as they soon find out, they can not understand, because He is so AWESOME! So this is an extremely healthy approach to 12-step recovery, that encourages others to take charge and with Christ's strength, make a stand and use the steps as an avenue to gain the closure on issues that have driven them to use and abuse drugs and alcohol, sometimes all their lives. This Recovery Bible is an awesome tool and we truly do give God the Praise, Glory, and Honor for it's availability to carry the message of hope for the hopeless and that recovery is possible, in JESUS' Name!
