Steps: Gospel-Centered Recovery

Rate this book
Steps: Gospel-Centered Recovery Leader Guide includes everything a leader needs to lead a group through the Steps recovery and discipleship process.

This 13-session discipleship program takes people to the root of sin and suffering in order to embrace the freedom found only in Christ's redemption. Potentially life-changing experiences are brought about by in-depth Bible study, thorough personal assessments, insightful teaching videos, and honest interactions with a group leader and mentor.

Honed over years of implementation at The Village Church's campuses in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Steps formed the foundation of the church's ongoing recovery ministry. It continues to be one of the most fruitful discipleship courses offered throughout the calendar year.

In these 13 sessions, Matt Chandler and Michael Snetzer invite other pastors from The Village Church to teach each of the 12 steps. Building on the incomplete truths of traditional recovery programs, Steps elevates the redeemed truths to be seen through the light of Scripture and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Theologically rich and steeped in the wisdom of practical biblical counseling, Steps is more than a Bible study; it's a discipleship tool and the foundation for gospel-centered recovery.

This is an excellent resource for discipleship, healing, and getting to the roots of sin and shame. I have been a believer for over 30 years, but this book opened my eyes to areas I had been blind or complacent it. I highly recommend this book to churches everywhere.
The assessment tools are valuable, and I will continue to use them in the future.

I'm burdened to offer a gospel-saturated recovery program at our church and was led to consider this resource. After working through the leader's guide, I'm confident this will be a fantastic tool for all churches desiring to help their members battle sin more biblically. Yes, this will certainly help those wrestling addiction, but its truths are pertinent to all those fighting sin.

For the Tim Challies 2016 Reading Challenge, this was the book I read with a one-word title.

Read this book with a group at church. It was very eye opening and healing. I strongly suggest finding a place that offers the video, small group and mentoring component!
