NOW AVAILABLE, the “Life’s Healing Choices Small Group Study” and “Guided Journal,” used with the “Life’s Healing Choices” book, is an eight-week small group study guide designed to help a small group discover and begin facing their hurts, hang-ups and habits.

We learned at the Celebrate Recovery Summit in August, that this material is to be offered, not as part of your CR ministry, but taught from within the church’s regular small group ministry!

Should only be presented when there is a strong Celebrate Recovery ministry available, as people will want to get further insight or help by checking out your CR.

One of questions asked was, “What do we do if our current small group is mixed, men and women?” The answer is to meet as normal for worship, fellowship, etc. But when it’s time to go over the study material for that week, the men and women would break and meet separately.

Also asked, “Will some look at this as an eight-week version of the CR Step Study?” The answer is that this curriculum, like the book, is an overview or “survey” of the Eight Choices (like the Eight CR Principles), and not the to used to work through the entire recovery process. That’s why the Study and Journal are NOT to be offered by the CR ministry, but through the small group ministry. The materials should NOT be on the CR Information Table. The “Life’s Healing Choices” book can be on the table of course.

The Journal is not necessary to go through the complete study, but is a “powerful companion” and helps with getting through the study. Can also be used with the book. It’s a great value and that’s why we try to always find the best prices for you.

This small book is a great aid to women in recovery. It will help you stay on your daily walk as you live out your recovery. Having a daily devotion to read everyday keeps me in the Word. But the stories of other women and their journeys in recovery gives me daily hope and encouragement.

Although currently out of print, this Devotional can be found at a really good price at Amazon.com.

ANOTHER GREAT IDEA for promoting your Celebrate Recovery. This one received from Lynn Schilling, Celebrate Recovery – North Central Regional Director. She shared with a group of us recently about donating a copy of “Life’s Healing Choices” to our local public library. Someone did this for her as an honor gift for her birthday.

How about donating one sponsored by your Celebrate Recovery? Usually they will affix a “special mention” inside, including your CR info as the donor. As someone reads “Life’s Healing Choices” and has questions or looking for follow-up, your info is right there to encourage them!

John and Johnny were interviewed at the Purpose Driven Network Summit this morning. It’s a great intro to the Celebrate Recovery program.
