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.

Email your question to me at nick.harrison@harvesthousepublishers.com In the meantime I’m going to offer up a quote from The Forest for the Trees: An […]
An Interview with Shane White
For a change of pace, I thought today I’d do an interview with Shane White. Shane is our National CBA Sales Manager at Harvest House Publishers and has been a great advocate for our fiction with his numerous accounts. Nick: Shane, you were early to spot the trend of Amish fiction in the CBA marketplace. […]
A Day in the Life…
Susy Flory suggested I blog on a “day in the life of an editor.” I work best from lists, so I always have a list of to-do tasks close at hand. Every day I work down the list and if I finish that task, I cross it off. Most tasks stay on my list for […]
What is Writing Talent?
My friend Michael Reynolds suggested that I blog on “what is writing talent from an editor’s perspective?” Wow. That’s harder to answer that you might imagine, but I’ll give it a try. First, let me stipulate that the operative words in the question are “from an editor’s perspective.” Good editors acquire books based on what […]
