Life's Healing Choices Small Group Study: Freedom from Your Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits

Always good, ordered several times and give them as gifts

We are just completed our 2nd of 9 meetings for this study/recovery/healing journey. This is for anyone & everyone. I was very reluctant to do this because I don't like to talk about feelings & be vulnerable. I had a lot of anxiety prior to the 1st meeting but once we started, I was more relaxed, and I can tell that it is working already (really after the 1st meeting). I you really work through this process & do the book and we are using this small group workbook also it helps. If I continue to grow and heal through the rest of this process the way I have in the 1st 2 weeks, I can definitely see myself working through this process several more times working on other issues that I need to deal with and heal from. I am not a person that likes to read or study but I am really enjoying the book along with this workbook. This book helps with it all.... eating disorders, sexual abuse/trauma, addiction of any kind, mental abuse, physical abuse, depression, etc... The one thing that I have realized from our 2 meetings is things that I thought I was the only one with some issues or thoughts or past problems but NOPE so many women had answers that were so similar to mine that it was scary. I definitely recommend the book & this workbook that goes with it.

John Baker's book Lifes Healing Choices is a wonderful journey to discovering the truth that we all struggle with some hurt, hang-up, or habit and that there is hope for all of us in our one true Higher Power, Jesus Christ. The use of testimonies brings the eight principles of recovery, the same principles that are the basis of Celebrate Recovery, alive, makes them understandable and real... something anyone can understand and more importantly, it presents them in a way all can relate to --- real human struggles and the hope that is available to us all as demonstrated in these snap shots of victories in the lives of people just like us. I have bought several copies as I keep giving them away - a great way to say 'I see your hurting and I care'. I highly recommend Lifes Healing Choices for everyone for their personal growth and as a tool to reach others who are hurting, to reach them with 'real' help, the only answer for every problem, Jesus Christ. Buy it!!! Read it!!! And, then give it away!!

I bought this along with the hardcover book with the intent of running a study group for the purpose of garnering potential initial leaders for a full blown celebrate recovery at our church, and it worked beautifully for this goal. It is laid out as a workbook to be written in during 8 small group discussion sessions and so it is best paired with the hardcover book  Life's Healing Choices  as it assigns homework reading out of that book before each session. John Baker does a wonderful job of laying out the recovery principles based on the beatitudes from the sermon on the mount and driving home their application to any of life's hurts, habits, and hangups. When you get Jesus involved in your recovery, true healing begins. I can also recommend the DVD version of this study that has its own workbook to go along with it. It is the same material in a different format which may work better for some groups/circumstances.

My friend and I are enjoying this book and study guide so much and want to encourage others to study them along with the Bible. Really gets to the heart of things within us. We want to help with Celebrate Recovery at a church near our homes. Thanks for having them available for sale.

Great book

So far so good. I look forward to using this book with a class we are starting.

I like all the info and the conditions of the book

awesome service and product

I've only scanned the book and so far haven't brought it to my congregation. It looks like a study that will help people in their Christian walk and also in their personal lives.
