I recently was given a free copy of Grace-Based Recovery to read and to review.

There are a couple items this is and it is not.

First it is a great book for a life group or a small group to go through to deal with recovery.  The way it is laid out allows for the leader to have some tips and guidelines as where to go.  Without these the leaders can cause the groups to go off on the wrong tangents if not trained in counseling.

Second the book is a great resource just to read and doesn't have to be used as a group.  It contains a lot of research and work that is invaluable.

What it is not:

a Legal reminder to counselors about anything dealing with Counseling.  As those of us know who do any counseling or Pastoral counseling there are multiple legal issues that surround you when you are counseling someone.

While a very small book in comparison to groups like Celebrate Recovery etc. I am very interested in how this book can be used in a Life Group and hope to complete it as one here soon.
