Life's Healing Choices Small Group Study: Freedom from Your Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits

by John Baker

With a foreword by Pastor Rick Warren, Life's Healing Choices small group study, a resource tied to Celebrate Recovery (and Saddleback Community Church), offers happiness and healing through eight choices that lead to transformation.

Ideal as a small group Bible study or Christian support group guide, this book equips participants to confront and overcome habits and hang-ups, offering a compassionate framework for healing from addiction and emotionally healing Bible study in a community setting. Whether used in a church recovery curriculum or a personal Christian healing journey, the guide encourages deep connection, reflection, and support.

Embraced by thousands of churches across the country, Life’s Healing Choices is a cornerstone recovery resource. It focuses on eight well-defined steps including Admitting Need, Getting Help, and Letting Go—each rooted in a biblical healing process and practical enough to serve as a step-by-step recovery plan. As a Bible study for healing, it also serves as a spiritual wholeness guide and faith and mental health workbook, offering powerful tools for inner healing, personal growth, and stronger relationships in the context of Christian group therapy.

[A Z · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this book is a great resource for those who want to start a group and use this as their workbook. It is just over 120 pages so even though it is short it is very concise and includes a lot of exercises as well as ways to see things in encourage you too do and be your best. It mentions the Bible but not in a overdone way. I appreciate the fact that it incorporates real life because sometimes when I read a Christian book, that seems to be more obsessed on sharing the scripture with us then what they advertise. And I'm not against that at all but I just wanted to point out that this book is not misleading like others I feel have been with me. A great little workbook

-- THIS IS THE WORKBOOK --

Good small group study, if you're willing to put forth the effort and time to fully complete each healing step.
