Day-by-Day Encouragement for People in Twelve-Step Recovery
Millions of people from all over the world have used the Twelve Steps since they were first written decades ago. The NIV Recovery Devotional Bible stands alongside these Twelve Steps as a unique tool for those in recovery from addictive, compulsive, or codependent behavior patterns.
The NIV Recovery Devotional Bible is not a substitute for going to meetings or working the Twelve Steps through an authorized program such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon, or Narcotics Anonymous. Rather, the NIV Recovery Devotional Bible is a life-building, user-friendly resource designed and written to help readers through each day. This unique Bible can support and strengthen recovery in many ways. Connecting the reader with Biblical principles that support the recovery process, it can expand one's understanding of God and how to relate to God, illuminate the spiritual truths behind the Twelve Steps, provide a rich resource for prayer and meditation, and provide fresh perspective on the link between faith and recovery.
Feeling bad? Feeling good? Look in the index for an appropriate topic (frustration, resentment, fear, faith, hope, etc.) and find a listing of related Scriptures. The NIV Recovery Devotional Bible is organized so that it can be used in a variety of ways. It is full of features that will help those in recovery see the Bible and experience personal faith in a whole new way.
