Life's Healing Choices

Freedom from Your Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits

By: John Baker, Rick Warren - introduction

Narrated by: John Baker

Eight concrete, well-explained choices are the foundation for this life-changing program:

1. Admitting Need – The Reality Step
2. Getting Help – The Hope Step
3. Letting Go – The Commitment Step
4.Coming Clean – The Housecleaning Step
5. Making Changes – The Transformation Step
6.Repairing Relationships – The Relationship Step
7.Maintaining Momentum – The Maintenance Step
8.Recycling Pain – The Sharing Step

Promising freedom from life’s hurts, hang-ups, and habits, this life-changing program assures listeners that true happiness can be theirs, if they will chose it; for happiness truly is a choice. This promise of happiness is based on eight statements from the truest of all books—God’s Word—and from the most revered Teacher of all time—Jesus Christ. In Jesus’s well-known and beloved Beatitudes, Jesus shares eight statements that reveal God’s pathway to wholeness, growth, spiritual maturity, and happiness. These eight statements are the basis for the eight tried-and-proved choices outlined in Life's Healing Choices.

Rather than wallowing in the past or focusing on painful memories, these eight choices provide listeners with an optimistic view to the future and real hope for lasting change. Emphasizing personal responsibility, listeners are taught how to face up to their poor choices, learn how to distinguish between what is in their control and what is not, then equips them to make new choices and take control where they can. Spiritual commitment is fostered and action steps are detailed.

With an encouraging tone, step-by-step guides, and biblically based teaching, listeners will find real answers, real hope, and a real future – one choice at a time.©2007 Richard D. Warren and John E. Baker; (P)2007 Simon and Schuster, Inc.

My name is Cindy and I'm a Believer

Even though this is basically the same as the sermons that Rick Warren did on the 8 principles of Celebrate Recovery, it's still great information. The "Actions" that accompany each principle are very thought provoking and they alone are worth the money/credit! I have become a huge fan of John Baker, Rick Warren, Saddleback Church, and Celebrate Recovery. I don't know a single soul who wouldn't benefit from the help and information in this book.

The testimonies from people and how they recovered

awesome read! this is not just a book but a step by step journey to healing and recovery from life's hurts, hangups,and habits

Rock Solid

This is something that will get under your skin and change your life forever -for the better.

Written to lead into Celebrate Recovery, it is an easy read but by no means shallow. Don't read this if you can't get real with yourself.

Worth the time

loved it!!! very easy to follow... liked hearing the people's stories, helps to solidify how this really works

great

all about life healing choices in the Celebrate Recovery Group great read if you need help in life.
