Recovery Journal

Recovery Journal: A Christ-Centered Guide to Healing, Transformation, and Lifelong Freedom

More than a workbook, this is a complete Christ-centered curriculum for addiction recovery, relapse prevention, and family restoration.

Recovery Journal brings together Scripture, clinical insight, and real ministry experience into one comprehensive resource for individuals seeking freedom, families seeking healing, and churches and facilitators building a recovery ministry from the ground up.

Inside you’ll find:

• A biblical foundation for understanding addiction as spiritual, emotional, and neurological bondage, and why grace-centered recovery leads to lasting change
• Step-by-step recovery guidance that integrates the Twelve Steps with Scripture
• In-depth relapse prevention strategies covering the emotional, mental, and physical stages of relapse
• A full section on family restoration and healing
• Culturally responsive, inclusive approaches to recovery ministry
• Evidence-based practices (CBT, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care) integrated alongside spiritual disciplines
• Meeting formats, facilitator principles, and pastoral leadership training for anyone running a recovery group
• Legal, ethical, and safety guidance for facilitators
• Personal testimonies and narrative vignettes of transformation
• A full glossary, Scripture index, and subject index for quick reference

Whether you’re an individual seeking a Christ-centered roadmap, a family longing for restoration, or a pastor, counselor, or ministry leader building a recovery program, Recovery Journal is designed to be the foundational reference you return to again and again.
