The fact that we have all made mistakes, we have all been hurt and we have all hurt others makes this book a must read for everyone. John will take you on a journey that will, by the choices that you make along the way, change your life. I hope to see down the road to healing at CR.

John Baker has hit the nail on the head! The church as a whole has not done a great job of helping people who struggle with the issues of life--isn't that all of us? Many people go to church with a happy mask on while struggling with personal or relational issues that are unresolved and keep them from being who God designed them to be.

As Christians we need to be real to heal. When we deny our problems or hide them from others and pretend that all is fine, we block the greatest thing Christ commanded us to do: Love God with all our hearts, souls and minds; and our neighbors as ourselves.

This is a must read for all who need to continue being "transformed into the image of Christ."

Let me say from the start that I love Celebrate Recovery and the ministry of John Baker. I have seen the most incredible life change in people's lives through the Biblical teaching of Celebrate Recovery.

Not everyone is going to take a look at CR in person, but they might be willing to read a book at home. I think that as start reading and they start seeing what is possible, they will want all that is being offered to them here.

I know that during times of anger, depression, stresses that the verses that used with this program have helped me, and helped me grow in my relationship with God.

I don't care what a problem is that people are struggling with, it is a great tool, to help everyone with their hurts, habits and hangups.

John, thanks for writing this book. Thanks for your ministry!

I've been working as a leader in our local Celebrate Recovery ministry and I would have to say that this is the best book I've read about recovery in "non-recovery" language. It deals practically and biblically with everyday hurts, habits & hangups that all of face in one form or another throughout our lifetime.

I applaud John Baker for his wisdom in taking this message to the masses in a way that everyone can relate. It breaks the stereotype of typical recovery programs and applies God's truth to healing choices we can make in our everyday life.

This has been a captivating read. It is written for everyone. It includes helpful suggestions and action steps to take in order to move through the hurts and hang-ups that have led to harmful habits. The illustrations help identify areas that have shaped us but that may have been overlooked. The personal testimonies share hope for those still struggling with a variety of life issues. Thank you, John Baker, for putting this together.

Absolutely anyone can connect with this book! We have all been hurt and John Baker artfully speaks to those bruised places with wisdom and effectiveness to help individuals walk out of that wounded place! Everyone needs to read this one!

Pastor John Baker is a true vessel for God in helping others find healing from God. I give this book to those I see could benefit from Celebrate Recovery, but who aren't familiar with the Christ centered 12 steps and what it's all about. This is an excellent tool.

This book is powerful! Pastor John Baker has hit not just a home run but a grand slam with this remarkable read. My personal journey down the road to recovery, as well as that of my family has gone to a new level in the past four months as a result of utilizing Life's Healing Choices. This is a tool, and I emphasize the word "tool" that not only serves to qualify the steps of recovery but will be used for many years to come. This is a must for everyone searching to make the next right choice!

Pastor John Baker has done a tremendous job of providing a source of growth and encouragement with Lifes Healing Choices. A long-standing fan of his Celebrate Recovery materials, he once again has done a great job of providing a pathway of healing through this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who may be looking for answers to lifes many struggles.

As the Serenity Prayer denotes "accepting hardship as a pathway to peace", this book helps us to understand why we struggle and how; with God's help we can overcome those struggles. The book is a great read and in a very non-threatening way revels how much God really loves and wants to help us. I recommend it to everyone.
