Publisher's summary

When it comes to Christ-centered recovery, we, the church, have work to do.

Our legalistic, box-checking, one-size-fits-all programs produce astonishingly high failure rates—which means far too many people are left to fight addiction, mental health problems, and suicidal thoughts on their own.

This begs some critical questions of the church:

• Do we really believe transformational recovery and healing are possible?
• Do we really have the right systems and structures to support struggling people?
• Do we really carry a kingdom responsibility to restore people gently?
• Do we really take time to ask God what more He would have us do in the recovery space?

This book is for anyone who can’t offer a resounding yes and amen to each of those questions.

With hearts that beat for those struggling with addictions and mental health issues, authors George A. Wood and Brit Eaton present:

• A critical reframing of the word “recovery” and an invitation to answer God’s call for more spirit-led, trauma-informed ministry
• Deeper exploration into the origins of addiction, mental health problems, and suicidal thoughts—and the church’s responsibility to bring God’s healing
• Powerful supernatural testimonies and stories of hope, healing, and life restoration as a result of embracing The Uncovery
• Practical strategies to help Christ-centered recovery leaders bridge the gap between spiritual and scientific communities to better serve struggling people
• A loose and helpful framework for embracing The Uncovery message
• Inspiration for recovery leaders to love and lead in a more inclusive, sacrificial, and Christlike manner while maintaining healthy self-care

The goal of The Uncovery is to help the church—and the world—see recovery through a grace-laced, gospel lens. Some say recovery is the civil rights movement of our generation because believe it or not, recovery is for everyone. And if that statement bothers you? Recovery might be for you, too.

Every single one of us has some trauma or issue from our past that may still be affecting our life today. This book offers listeners a not-so-subtle nudge to go deeper in the recovery space for a transformative encounter with Father God to heal from those wounds and lead the promised land life He has planned for us.

So good

Powerful real life stories of ups and downs and standing together as community while seeking to show love to each other and neighbors. Recovery is found in connection with each other, in community

Truly life changing!

I read this book when my son chose to live at a Timothy Initiative community.
Praise God!!,
he was invited by a friend who lives there as well.
After reading this book, I know my son will be transformed into the man he is meant to be, walking with Jesus❤
He is living among such wonderful people! I have such high hopes for my son living in this community of such love and acceptance.
This book has also helped me realize I need to be more Christ like for my son as well.
I loved hearing George's stories and Brit's voice it's wonderful to listen to. She should narrate more books!!

This is exactly what I needed to hear!! Thank you
