My daughter enjoys reading this book and learning more about the bible.

What an amazing book! Just what I needed. Took me all day searching for the right book for my spiritual healing and growth, and this book has everything I need. I really like that it's more than a Bible. Addiction is a widespread issue and affects everyone in some way. This book can save lives. Get it, read it, apply it. You will not regret it. Thank you!

I started reading bibles in depth 3 years ago, and I have purchased just about every translation and study bible in print. I was looking for God, for healing, for insights into what it really means to be a Christian, how to find release from the bondage of addictions and idolatry of any sort, and how to grow spiritually. I purchased this bible in August 2002. Since then, I have found answers in it that no amount of personal or group bible study using other bibles, Christian radio, professional counseling by therapists or pastors, church attendance, or prayer have given me. Almost every page has foot-notes, devotionals, in-depth comments, which teach about addictions and how to gain freedom, details about the road to recovery, all within a Christ-centered framework using the 12 Alcoholics Anonymous steps. You can look up just about any life-experience topic in the excellently organized index/concordance in the back of the Bible, to focus on passages which help you understand who you are, what you do, why you do it, and ways to gain release from whatever plagues you, and get closer to God in order to gain peace and restoration. I have abandoned all my other bibles in favor of this one. I would urge anyone who needs help in self-control, discipline, overcoming compulsive/obsessive behaviors, to dig into the Life Recovery Bible. You will be blessed abundantly. If you simply want to grow spiritually, and you have no addictions, this bible is also for you. Every day I can look forward to new insights and teachings in this bible, which I can apply immediately to my life. The text is easy to read for such a large Bible, the NLT translation is easy to understand, and the footnotes and other devotionals do not interfere with my enjoyment of every page. There is another Life Recovery Bible in the NIV (New International Version), which in my opinion is not nearly as good as this one.

received as expected, very easy to understand

I was introduced to this bible many years ago by a counselor. It contains scripture and uses footnotes and explanation pages to apply the biblical stories to good and bad choices that people make that can build or tear down a life. These choices can affect people for generations. This book really teaches human nature and how having a Godly spiritual outlook can make a self destructive life into a life worth living. It teaches the things in life that are of true and lasting value. There are power struggles, nation conflicts, hatred, murder plots, jealousy, family conflicts and other human stories. It explains the intent of the people and the consequences and results of their choices.

I got tired of purchasing Bibles, trying to find a version that was easy to read and understand. Each would say that it was easy to read, but as soon as I got to Exodus, would again be left lost, trying to decipher the meaning of some of the text. Needless to say, I stopped reading. It is a goal of mine to read Genesis through Revelation at least once in my lifetime, but hopefully multiple times. I do not have a substance abuse problem, but many of us may not realize that we have addictions in other ways and to things other than substances. Even if not, I like how this bible is worded. Sure, there may be things lost or added in translation, but before one lets that hinder the use of this book, please remember that the original books of the bible weren't written in English and therefore, it is likely things were changed in translation to begin with. Further, the original KJV (and subsequent versions, such as the new KJV) are translations approved by King James because he wanted to ensure that it conformed to the episcopol structure of the Church of England. Certain books were also left out during these revisions, as they continue to be today. Further, there were earlier revisions, KJV was actually the third English translation. Don't let the fact that the translations aren't purist be a deterrent! This is a great Bible. I'd rather be able to succeed in reading this the whole way through and understand what I'm reading, than to try and navigate my way through a Bible that I don't fully understand without having to stop and do research with a concordance and other tools and reference books that may or may not help. In some instances, I was more confused after reading the reference material than when I started. Having to stop and research has hindered my progress in the past but with this Bible, I predict full speed ahead. I'm already reading and I've only owned it for a few days. Someone I know shared a few passages with me from this book and the language used prompted me to immediately purchase my own copy. I will purchase latter versions, but this time, I made sure to purchase the exact year print and version as the person who shared it, so that I could be sure of what to expect. I am so glad that I did. Even if the translation is "off"(which I don't see blatantly and in context, only minor), the message is clear and positive. I can't see eternal damnation if one were to follow what they find here, provided they also believe and confess. This is now my go to Bible. I highly recommend it, with or without an addiction, whether or not in recovery. I will read it to my toddler and when she is of age, she will receive her own copy.

The teachings in the bible range from, 'Be perfect as God is perfect.' to, 'Run in God's race -in such a way- as to win the prize.' I like this recovery bible because every person in any stage of recovery needs to be reminded, "Do your best because the best is all you can do."

my recipient was extremely pleased with it. The Journal is also very good

This amazing book is so easy to UNDERSTAND! This book can help you RECOVER FROM ANYTHING life throws at you! It provides 3 options for the 12-step recovery method, including: 12 steps of Life Recovery 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous 12 steps of Scripture

I love this Bible! The New Living Translation makes God's word accessible to the contemporary reader without being too colloquial. I highly recommend it for devotional reading purposes as it has excellent accompanying notes. Choose from Serenity Prayer devotionals, character profiles, topical issues or Recovery Principle devotionals which follow a similar pattern to 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. However, you don't have to be facing challenges with addictions to benefit from these notes, as we are all in recovery from one bad habit or another. Each Bible book has an outline, explanation of the context and discusses of a relevant recovery theme. Navigation through the various topics is easy with indexes and an instruction at the bottom of the page directing the reader where to go next. Marvellous!

I'm not the most diligent Amazon reviewer, but this book prompted me to leave a glowing review - consider it a share for the benefit of my fellow travellers in recovery, regardless of their specific drug or behaviour of 'choice'. I am fairly new to recovery and the 12-steps, and like many addicts coming into the 12-step fellowships, I have come to the idea of 'Higher Power' with a lot of baggage and resistance. I still consider myself on the cusp between atheism and agnosticism, and have also been looking into Buddhist approaches to ideas of 'higher power', inspired largely by the books 'One Breath at a Time' and 'The 12 Step Buddhist' - both excellent guides to integrating mindfulness and the four-noble truths with 12 Step recovery. However, inspired by stories contained the AA Big Book, I made a commitment to side step theological niceties as so many obstructions to progress and to simply explore spirituality in a non-judgemental, non-doctrinaire approach. Viewed in this way, the Bible, no less (perhaps more) than many other spiritual tomes has enormous spiritual wisdom that can be of great help and succour to the recovering addict. The beauty of this version is that it provides well-considered, structured reading cycles corresponding to each of the steps and the 'serenity prayer', as well as much other supporting material, providing a 'way in' to what would otherwise be an intimidating read for those not steeped in Christianity. It is also based on a very modern translation, the New Living Translation, making the text of the bible accessible yet elegant in style as well as profound in content. In sum, I would strongly recommend this book to those coming into recovery who wish to make progress in developing a conception of higher power that is dynamic and non-judgemental. A truly inspired recovery tool.
