Recovery ALIVE! Guidebook: Launching a 12 Step Recovery Ministry that Raises Hope from the Dead! - Softcover
Synopsis
“Recovery Alive is exploding! It’s a movement anchored ultimately in the hope found in a relationship with God… I believe this kind of care and counsel ministry can change our broken and addicted world.”
Zach Clinton
Vice President, American Association of Christian Counselors
“Far too often instructions on how to start a recovery ministry are very shallow in detail as well as application. There simply is not enough content supplied in order to have a real opportunity at launching and developing a thriving ministry. This can lead to more questions than answers. That simply is not the case with the Recovery Alive Guidebook. John and his team have carefully and thoughtfully crafted a guidebook that gives step-by-step instructions. It has been written in such a way that even the most inexperienced leader can successfully launch a thriving Christ-centered recovery ministry that will provide hope and healing within the church, community, and beyond. If you are considering starting a recovery ministry in your church or organization, this guidebook is a must have!”

“Any pastor or church leader who is serious about recovery ministry desperately needs a copy of this book. John Eklund masterfully lays out a very practical and systematic way to lead people to a new way of living as God intended us to live – free of guilt, shame, anger, codependency, you name it. This manual leads us on a journey to victory to overcome any human struggle. John’s book gives us a way to have hope in hopeless situations, and it breathes life into a suffocating world of hurt. Thank you sir for listening to the voice of God and helping His children to live free.”
