Realize I'm not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. 'Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.' Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover. 'Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.' Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control. 'Happy are the meek.' Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to someone I trust. 'Happy are the pure in heart.' Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. 'Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.' Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others. 'Happy are the merciful.' 'Happy are the peacemakers.' Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and gain the power to follow His will. Yield myself to be used by God to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. 'Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.'

Steppin Out of Denial Into God's Grace,
By David L. Meysembourg (Jackson Township, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stepping Out of Denial into God's Grace Participant's Guide #1 (Paperback)
This is the first of four books in the Celebrate Recovery cirricuulum. It is filled with insightful and useful references to scripture and other valuable resources in recovery. Rick Baker has put the credit for the source of recovery back where it belongs, in the loving, gentle hands of The one, true God.

Dont waste your money,

This review is from: Stepping Out of Denial into God's Grace Participant's Guide #1 (Paperback)
We started a Christain 12 Step group. We bought all the books and the leaders manual. We shorly threw them all way. The keep bouncing between the steps and biatitudes. This program is layed out very poorly. We have swithched to "The 12 Steps For Christians" and "12 Steps A spiritual Journey". We wish we had done this first.
