It seems like so many of friends are going through difficult times right now. Well, let me share something that helps me and others. There is a great book called “Life’s Healing Choices” by John Baker. I think that many of you know about the recovery ministry that I ran in Weed, California. The program that I ran there was a chapter of the ministry that John Baker started, called “Celebrate Recovery.”

Some of you know some of the issues that I am dealing with, having to deal with hurts, and forgiveness, and I found the sixth chapter in “Life’s Healing Choices” really helpful. I have given out lots of copies to friends and had lots of comments from people about how the book is helpful.

Why is it helpful? Mainly because it gives you verse after verse of Scripture on how to deal with your hurts, habits and hang-ups. It also has great testimonies, of people who God has put their lives back together.

I don’t know how to recommend this book highly enough.

It is not a new book. But a lot of guys don’t know about it. You can pick it up cheap used, or get the latest edition with a couple of new chapters.

The book is called “God’s Smuggler” by Brother Andrew. True story. He lived through WWII, later became part of the Dutch Special Forces, and eventually God gets a hold of his life and he is used to smuggle Bibles into Iron Curtain countries.

My mom read it to me in the 70s. I read it my son this last year. He loved it.

I wish that I could buy all my friends here copies.

I know that some of you are in used bookstores getting books all the time, check it out and then report here how you like it. I know that you will.
