I've shared in a few other recovery workbook reviews that I am a survivor of childhood rape. And I don't mind sharing that at all because 1) I've worked SO hard on my recovery and I'm proud of that, 2) if anyone needs to hear that there's hope and there's someone to talk to, I want to be fully  available, and 3) it's time survivors start dragging these ugly secrets into the light and expose the actions of perpetrators so they don't feel like they can safely sneak around in the dark anymore.

I loved this book. The first four workbooks were helpful and essential to get through before landing at books 5-8. That said, books 1-4 could feel a little rudimentary if someone comes into them already a believer who loves Jesus (yes, these books are faith based so know that going in). 

I know I'm only one book in, but I feel like books 5-8 are meat and potatoes stuff that will be applicable over and over. I honestly can see myself going through them again every few years. And for anyone unfamiliar with Celebrate Recovery, these books and the program are applicable for EVERY area of recovery, from chemical dependency to domestic violence to codependency to sexual assault trauma. My one encouragement is you NEED to have a support/accountability partner while going through these books. I would actually say it may be dangerous not to.

I'd rate the content of this workbook a G.
