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.

Here are the comments from authors who chose number two from the survey posted above. That is, they chose: I try to stay close to the original vision for the book, but invariably there are significant changes along the way that I never anticipated at the beginning. As might be expected, this option was the […]
Survey Results! Part 1
As I mentioned in my previous blog, I recently sent out a survey question to several prominent writers of fiction and/or nonfiction, most of whose names you’ll recognize. There were three choices from which to choose, and each of the following three blog entries are based on those three answers. I enjoy hearing HOW writers […]
A Two-fer: Publishing with Amazon and an Important Question
I first met Joyce Scott at the Oregon Christian Writer’s summer conference two or three years ago. She showed me her fiction proposal and I liked what I saw. Alas, Harvest House has not had much success with genre fiction (other than Amish historical romance), so I had to say no. Since then, Joyce has […]
A Hint on Writing from Mom
I was visiting my mom the other night and was reminded of an important lesson for fiction writers. Mom reads a lot of fiction—mostly mysteries—and during this visit she held up a book by her favorite author and said, “Do you know why she’s my favorite author?” I was ready to offer up suggestions such […]
