The Road to Freedom: Healing from Your Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits
Each one of us has hurts, hang-ups, and habits that need healing. The Road to Freedom is the path to hope for all of us who are in pain or simply stuck. With practical application and inspiration, Johnny Baker shares his story of recovering from alcoholism and offers the truths he has learned from his 25 years with Celebrate Recovery.
Baker’s father, John, founded Celebrate Recovery when Baker was 15 years old. Later, Baker would become involved with alcohol himself. Even though he saw his parents’ marriage heal and watched his dad become a new person, he had to experience his own journey of healing.
Baker began the process of recovery as a young adult. Now he serves on the leadership team of Celebrate Recovery, sharing his testimony of how God brought him back home. In the years since leaving alcohol behind, Baker has witnessed thousands of other lives change through the power of Christ.
Whether you are dealing with substance abuse, relational struggles, or eating challenges, or you simply want to let go of what is holding you back in life, you will find answers in The Road to Freedom. In addition to telling his own story, Baker offers ten principles of healing. These life lessons remind you that pain has a purpose, small and steady improvement lasts longer than overnight change, serving others leads to deeper healing, and facing your problems is the only way to heal.
The Road to Freedom will help you move from coping with hurts, hang-ups, and habits to the hope and health that only Jesus can bring.

Celebrate Recovery is such a great ministry. It's a community where people who have hurt, pain or addiction come together to find safety, community, and healing. This book was written by Johnny Baker, the son of the founder of the organization.
He makes the best case for the need for community for healing. His approach is honest, accessible and his insights are valuable. The book tends to have a nepotistic feel to it and is a bit long winded and repetitive, but what he is presenting is so powerful. Easy read, so worth it.

My church is beginning a Celebrate Recovery ministry and I was very excited to hear the back story and learn more about the program. Praying for lives to be changed in our rural area.
