Life Recovery is not just a way of life; it's the path to the richest life possible. We are all fellow strugglers together as we battle addictions, dependencies, anxieties, depression, or difficult relationships that need healing. Each one of us faces our own unique battle.
God's vision for your life is far more profound than you can ever imagine. Spending as little as one minute a day praying, meditating, and being in God's presence can recapture that vision and equip you to live into it. The One Year Life Recovery Prayer Devotional is a resource that can help you do that. By spending time each day with the living God, you can grow in biblical wisdom and spiritual depth in order to overcome what seeks to control you.
Be free from what imprisons you. Each day, this devotional will prompt you to look to God for strength when you are weak―for hope when everything appears hopeless.

What Is Success?
In my last post I wrote about handling success. Today I want to address Bob Russell’s question: “What is success as a writer and how do you know when you’ve achieved it? How do you measure it? Book sales? Satisfaction? Lives changed?” If that was a multiple choice question, I’d choose “satisfaction.” But I want […]
Handling Success
I’ve been away for a few days and am now back in the saddle. I asked my Facebook friends for some ideas for my next blog and got some great responses. I’ll answer the first one now and try to answer the others over the course of the next few days. Lori Roeleveld says: We […]
Dealing with Disappointment
As some of my Facebook friends know, yesterday I received a heavy blow as a writer. For the past two years I’ve been working on a memoir with a noted actress from the Golden Age of Hollywood. It’s been a pet project of mine in many ways. First of all, I really don’t care much […]
