More than just a recovery manual...
While this book is framed in terms of recovery, I find it to be much more than just a guide to recover from difficult or unhealthy situations. It provides a positive and realistic way that faith and everyday life can be integrated. It is not simplistic or idealistic--rather, it talks about life the way it is, and it talks about how one can integrate a belief in Jesus into this life.Often, I feel, especially to children and to new converts, faith is presented as a peachy-keen experience, in which everything is perfect, and God always solves your problems. There is little room for suffering, imperfection, struggles, and difficulties. Often, if someone is having troubles, they put blame on themselves or on God.
This book shatters this perception of faith and replaces it with one that is deeper, and more lasting: a faith that can stand the test of hardship and time.
