Book Review: It works because God is the foundation of the book
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been a Christian for 15 years, but still had resentment and habits in my life from learned dsyfunctions that did not allow me the freedom Christ had for me. A little over two years ago I went through an experience that totally devastated me. I would not have tried to take my own life, but everynight for months I would come home and kneel by my bed and pray for Jesus to take me home. I was sick of being here where your heart was ripped out and everyone was always playing games it seemed at your expense. It was at that point that God truly humbled me and started turning my life around. Celebrate Recovery has started me at the begining and is step by step guiding me through what Gods word can and wants to do if we will just apply it to our lives. But most of us do not understand how to do this.

I know it works because it has changed my life. And I see it doing miracles in peoples lives every week. I am now the Celebrate Recovery coordinator in my church. We are a small church of about 100 people, about 40 members, but on Fridays nights there are 12 faitful people that show up and say here we are God, change us. And he is taking this tool that has been given us and healing hurts that have been buried for 10, 20 or more years, he is changing thinking habits and lifestyles that have chained us to our past. It is healing and setting free. Since Sept. 12, 200, we have been meeting and at times I just stand in awe of what I see happening. ANd looke forward to the knowledge that when this class is over after the 52 weeks that there will be 12 ministys that will be laucnhed to touch people in all different needs. It is a tool that not only takes the broken, hurt, addicted and abused form their painful lifestyle, but it develops them so that they can show others.

God had taken me form a life of drugs, abandonment and broken relationships, sexual abuse and things that I never understood

that they were from bad choices, then he showed me that I must be set free from the chains that I had allowed to be placed around me.

God took one broken, messed up woman and is gracious enough to use her to teach this to others, so that they too can be healed and touch others.

This book is a must for everyone that wants a life of freedom found in Christ. If it is not in your church or home it should be.
