About this ebook

In this revised and newly updated leader's guide, there is a way the church can help the wounded move beyond their hurts, hang-ups, and habits to experience the forgiveness of Christ. Celebrate Recovery helps the church fulfill its role as Christ's healing agent. You don't have to lead alone. To lead people forward in spiritual, physical, and emotional restoration is to walk in the footsteps of Christ. And that's why the Celebrate Recovery Leader's Guide is so important.

With everything you need to encourage lasting life-change, the newly updated guide is the best way to facilitate Celebrate Recovery in your church and help people look forward to a whole new future.

The Celebrate Recovery Leader's Guide includes:

Fresh testimonies
A 90-day start-up strategy
A clear, easy-to-follow format
Step-by-step instructions for each meeting
Guide for conducting leader training
Teaching notes for the 25 lessons of The Journey Begins (Participant's Guide, volumes 1-4)
Overview of the 25 lessons of The Journey Continues (Participant's Guide, volumes 5-8)

Along with a willing heart, this leader's guide is invaluable for leading men and women forward in complete restoration and transformation through Christ.
