Discovery of Recovery Description
Webster defines recovery as “the act of regaining, retaking or obtaining possession of anything lost.” If you know someone today who has not been saved, you know someone who is biblically “lost.” They need to be found. But for those of you who have been saved, do you still possess the joy of your salvation? Or has that joy somehow been lost? And if so, how? And if so, when? And how and where does one go to get it back? These questions beg for answers when a spiritually dehydrated believer is trying to determine why they work so hard to live for God but are failing to experience a lasting joy.
In The Discovery of Recovery: Rekindling God’s Claim to His Flame, you will embark upon a 40-day pilgrimage that will take you from unexpected barrenness to anticipated fruitfulness as you learn about the three fires that all believers need to have. This journey will be a personal investigation of the personal, spiritual, and physical fires in your life. These fires stoke our relationships with Christian character and biblical magnetism that make us effective in presenting ourselves for the causes of Christ. If we faint in feeding our fires, we will fail to fuel them. And the cost will be a very great loss. For “where no wood is, there the fire goeth out…” (Proverbs 26:20).
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
“This book changed the way I looked at lasting recovery! After completing the Stronghold’s Discipleship curriculum that changed my life, I started finding myself losing the joy that once permeated my life. I no longer found myself using drugs or drinking, and God had removed most of my “stinking thinking”. Yet, I found myself struggling with my weight and my attitude. Within 40 days of the Discovery of Recovery: Rekindling God’s Claim to His Flame, I learned how the physical, personal and spiritual fires, if properly balanced and maintained in your life, can
rekindle the joy and happiness that we all seek!

It's Practical Daily Journal Description
Are you struggling in your faith? Have you taken steps forward spiritually, only to find yourself taking unnecessary steps backward? Or, have you fallen from the wonderful position of freedom in Christ you were gloriously granted not too long ago? If so, we sense this recovery journal can be of great help to you. The “It’s Practical” Recovery Journal has at its foundation the most popular portions of the “It’s Personal” Daily Journal adding elements for those who may need to recover themselves from a particular snare of the devil; “. . . that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will” (Second Timothy 2:26).
If you are living a Christian life that is bound in decisions formed in your soul with little or no influence from your spiritual man, then friend, you are a fleshly Christian. But you may not see it, know it, or even agree with that statement at all! However, an examination of your daily communications and meditations will surely answer the question for you. It also includes an
invasive investigation into the personal care of our beautiful body temple (the physical man). It looks internally at the choices you make for food consumption, labor, sleep, activity levels and other elements that may hinder the metabolic fires that bring us health and well-being. The “It’s Practical” Recovery Journal is a companion resource with the book entitled Discovery of Recovery. These tools are part of what we hope will be your 40-Day Pilgrimage from what may have been an unexpected barrenness to what will be an anticipated fruitfulness.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
“The It’s Personal Daily Journal has been a revolutionary tool for people’s spiritual lives for over a decade. This new journal, the “It’s Personal” Recover Journal” takes the same effective format, and adds in some amazing tools to help us analyze our thought lives and our physical bodies. We love to preach against harmful things like tobacco and alcohol, but what about the effects of wrong thinking, no exercise, or eating bad food? I highly recommend this journal to everyone looking to bring their body, soul, and spirit in line with God.”
