Grace based recovery, a safe place to heal and grow
A resource for addiction support and recovery groups, Grace-Based Recovery is a small-group study designed to help people suffering from addiction and those close to them understand God’s grace and why it is the only path to true freedom. With nine easy-to-use lessons, Grace-Based Recovery highlights the significant differences between a performance-based approach to recovery and a grace-based approach, and establishes a safe environment where addicts can learn from their mistakes rather than be punished for them. Through practical exercises, readers will learn the principles of grace and how to apply those truths to the false beliefs that have held them captive. Participants will be encouraged to see freedom from addiction as a lifelong process and to live without shame and fear as they grow, stumble, grow again, and, by God’s grace, change. Author Jonathan Daugherty, the founder of BeBroken Ministries and the popular podcast and radio show Pure Sex, has nearly twenty years of personal recovery experience and over fifteen years of professional recovery experience. Nearly five years into his own recovery journey, he realized that simply behaving well could never truly liberate him, and that only God’s grace could cause that kind of transformation. In a world that is finding itself increasingly more addicted, Grace-Based Recovery carries the timely message of the grace, self-worth, and confidence found in Jesus Christ and tears down the strongholds of addiction in our lives.

"Daugherty's approach aligns with the good news of Christ and contains principles that are about transformation, not mere 'spiritual effort,' which fails when our own strength runs out. Further, he speaks of true grace not cheap grace. Those in the recovery journey will benefit from the thoughtful, careful guidance in this user-friendly tool." Geremy F. Keeton, Senior Director of Counseling Services, Focus on the Family
