Moving Forward in God s Grace The Journey Continues Participant s Guide 5 A Recovery Program Bas

Celebrate Recovery introduces The Journey Continues--four new participant's guides designed as a revolutionary, new second step study curriculum. This step study is taken after completing The Journey Begins (Participant Guides 1-4). In the six lessons in Guide 5: Moving Forward in God's Grace, you will experience Christ-centered and biblically based studies filled with brand new acrostics, deeper questions, and more helpful Bible verses. The content in Guide 5 will focus on a deeper study of the first 3 of 8 recovery principles:

• Realize I'm not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. "Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor" (Matthew 5:3).
• Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover. "Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4).
• Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control. "Happy are the meek" (Matthew 5:5).

By working through the lessons and exercises found in each of the four participant's guides of The Journey Continues you will find a deeper sense of true peace and serenity, continue to restore and develop stronger relationships with others and with God, and find deeper freedom from life's hurts, hang-ups, and habits.
