The Celebrate Recovery Participant's Guides are essential tools for
the personal recovery journey. In the six lessons in Guide 1:
Stepping Out of Denial Into God's Grace, you will experience the
first 3 of the 8 recovery principles:
1 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" (Matthew 5:3).
2 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" (Matthew 5:4).
3 Conciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care
and control. "Happy are the meek" (Matthew 5:5).
By working through the lessons and exercises found in each of the four
Participant's Guides you will begin to experience the true peace and
serenity you have been seeking, restore and develop stronger
relationships with others and with God, and find freedom from life's
hurts, hang-ups, and habits.
