Celebrate Recovery was developed by Pastor John Baker, which is a program based on The Biblical principles of the “Beatitudes of Jesus Christ”. It mirrors much like a well known spiritually twelve step program, helping people to recover from their “hurts, hang ups, and habits”.
The Celebrate Recovery program mirrors the spiritual twelve step program with its “Eight principles of recovery”; combining a few of the original twelve steps together.

I have a ton of bibles and translations but truly love this one. I use the daily devotional section in the back month after month. I have been through the step study and in program for years. The devotions day after day are extremely relevant for my walk and journaling. Month to month the issues change and I can see Gods hand in my daily life, giving Him my concerns of the world and journaling His responses. There are a lot of tools here so I use print as well as iBooks version. I won't lose what I learned - For Sure.

Currently my favorite study bible. Fits into the 12 steps for those doing that program, but the lessons for how to use these in every-day life is wonderful for everyone!
