Celebremos la recuperación Guía 4: Cómo crecer en Cristo mientras ayudas a otros: Un programa de recuperación basado en ocho principios de las bienaventuranzas

Celebrate Recovery Participant's Guide #4

by John Baker, Rick Warren (Foreword)

Un programa de recuperación basado en ocho principios de las 1. Reconozco que no soy Dios. Admito que no tengo poder para controlar mi tendencia a hacer lo malo y que mi vida es inmanejable. “Dichosos los pobres en espíritu, porque el reino de los cielos les pertenece.” (Mateo 5:3) 2. En una forma sincera creo que Dios existe, que le intereso y que Él tiene el poder para ayudarme en mi recuperación. “Dichosos los que lloran, porque serán consolados.” (Mateo 5:4) 3. Conscientemente decido comprometer toda mi vida y voluntad al cuidado y control de Cristo. “Dichosos los humildes, porque recibirán la tierra como herencia.” (Mateo 5:5) 4. Una apertura para un autoexamen y confesión de mis faltas a Dios y a alguien en quien confío. “Dichosos los de corazón limpio, porque ellos verán a Dios.” (Mateo 5:8) 5. Para que Dios pueda hacer los cambios en mi vida, me someto voluntariamente a Él y con humildad le pido que remueva mis defectos de carácter. “Dichosos los que tienen hambre y sed de justicia, porque serán saciados.” (Mateo 5:6) 6. Evalúo todas mis relaciones. Ofrezco perdón a aquellos queme han hecho daño y enmiendo los daños que he ocasionado a otros, excepto si cuando al hacerlo les dañara a ellos o a otros. “Dichosos los compasivos, porque serán tratados con compasión.” (Mateo 5:7) 7. Reservo un tiempo diario con Dios para una autoevaluación, lectura de la Biblia y oración con el fin de conocer a Dios y Su voluntad para mi vida y obtener el poder para seguirla. “Dichosos los que trabajan por la paz,porque serán llamados hijos de Dios.” (Mateo 5:9) 8. Al rendir mi vida a Dios para ser usada puedo llevar estas Buenas Nuevas a otros, tanto con mi ejemplo como con mis palabras. “Dichosos los perseguidos por causa de la justicia, porque el reino de los cielos les pertenece". (Mateo 5:10)

As mentioned previously, I started going through this recovery workbook series with a friend because my church is starting a Celebrate Recovery program. I am one of the leaders for the program and wanted to work through the books myself. While I initially started this thinking, "These are a great tool for me to go through now in order to help others later" (which was true) but about two work sessions later, I realized I needed it. This WAS now about me. I've shared before that I am a rape victim, so this is where I spent a lot of soul searching.

The thing I love about this series is the diversity behind the program. These workbooks do WORK for anything recovery related: addictions, sexual assault, grief...the list goes on. Couldn't recommend enough! I would recommend to everyone.

I would rate PG just because of the intensity of the work sessions and challenge behind them.

Book Four wraps up with the final principles: (7) Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will. (8) Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and my words. “Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.” Matthew 5:10 TEV.

The tenth through twelfth steps of the twelve steps are also tackled: 10. We continue to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it. So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 1 Corinthians 10:12; 11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and power to carry that out. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. Colossians 3:16a NIV;
12. Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we try to carry this message to others and practice these principles in all our affairs. Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore them gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Galatians 6:1 NIV.

It has been 4 years since I went through the CR program. It was absolutely life changing! I have felt the need for a bit of a refresher course so I'm glad the workbooks are available through Amazon. I will say though that if you haven't been through the program, you need to find a local church that runs one. It's vitally important to go through with others. This is not a solitary journey. Also, CR isn't just for people dealing with substance abuse issues. It's for ANYONE dealing with hurts, hangups or habits - which is pretty much everyone!

Celebrate Recovery

Great end to a spiritual building series. Works best when studied in a small group. Brutal honest is necessary for growth.

[Shane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book four and the final one in the first series of recovery. There are four additional books that follow this one but are not required.

[Kieron Roberson · Rating 3 out of 5]

The books are just okay. The time spent sharing answers and observations with the other ladies in my study was the amazing part.
