hurts, habits, and hang-ups to experience the forgiveness of
Christ. Celebrate Recovery helps the church fulfill its role as

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 leader's 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

transformation through Christ.
The Celebrate Recovery Participant's Guides are essential tools for
the personal recovery journey. In the six lessons in Guide 1:
Stepping Out of Denial Into God's Grace, you will experience the
first 3 of the 8 recovery principles: 1 Realize I'm not God. I
admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong
thing and that my life is unmanageable. "Happy are those who know
they are spiritually poor" (Matthew 5:3). 2 Earnestly believe that
God exists, that I matter to him, and that he has the power to help
me recover. "Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be
comforted" (Matthew 5:4). 3 Consciously choose to commit all my
life and will to Christ's care and control. "Happy are the meek"
(Matthew 5:5). By working through the lessons and exercises found
in each of the four Participant's Guides you will begin to
experience the true peace and serenity you have been seeking,
restore and develop stronger relationships with others and with
God, and find freedom from life's hurts, hang-ups, and habits. All
the scriptures have been updated to the new NIV 2011 version.
When John F. Baker Jr. was in the seventh grade, he saw a
photograph of four former slaves in his social studies
textbook--two of them were his grandmother's grandparents. He began
the lifelong research project that would become The Washingtons of
Wessyngton Plantation, the fruit of more than thirty years of
archival and field research and DNA testing spanning 250 years.A
descendant of Wessyngton slaves, Baker has written the most
accessible and exciting work of African American history since
Roots. He has not only written his own family's story but included
the history of hundreds of slaves and their descendants now
numbering in the thousands throughout the United States. More than
one hundred rare photographs and portraits of African Americans who
were slaves on the plantation bring this compelling American
history to life. Founded in 1796 by Joseph Washington, a distant
cousin of America's first president, Wessyngton Plantation covered
15,000 acres and held 274 slaves, whose labor made it the largest
tobacco plantation in America. Atypically, the Washingtons sold
only two slaves, so the slave families remained intact for
generations. Many of their descendants still reside in the area
surrounding the plantation. The Washington family owned the
plantation until 1983; their family papers, housed at the Tennessee
State Library and Archives, include birth registers from 1795 to
1860, letters, diaries, and more. Baker also conducted dozens of
interviews--three of his subjects were more than one hundred years
old--and discovered caches of historic photographs and paintings. A
groundbreaking work of history and a deeply personal journey of
discovery, The Washingtons of Wessyngton Plantation is an uplifting
story of survival and family that gives fresh insight into the
institution of slavery and its ongoing legacy today.

The program that has helped over five million people overcome their
hurts, hang-ups, and habits You've undoubtedly heard the expression
"time heals all wounds." Unfortunately, it isn't true. As many
pastors and counselors know, people still carry hurts from thirty
or forty years ago. The truth is, time often makes things worse.
Wounds that are left untended fester and spread infection
throughout your entire body. Time only extends the pain if the
problem isn't dealt with. Your First Step to Celebrate Recovery
introduces you to a biblical and balanced program that has helped
nearly five million people overcome their hurts, hang-ups, and
habits. Based on the actual words of Jesus found in the Sermon on
the Mount rather than psychological theory, the Celebrate Recovery
program has helped people for over 20 years to grow toward full
Christ-like maturity. Author and founder John Baker tells the true
story of how Celebrate Recovery became one of the largest
Christ-centered recovery programs in history. Baker will help you
discover how God's love, truth, grace and forgiveness can bring
healing into your life.
Essays on the depiction of animals, birds and insects in early
medieval material culture, from texts to carvings to the landscape
itself. For people in the early Middle Ages, the earth, air, water
and ether teemed with other beings. Some of these were sentient
creatures that swam, flew, slithered or stalked through the same
environments inhabited by their human contemporaries. Others were
objects that a modern beholder would be unlikely to think of as
living things, but could yet be considered to possess a vitality
that rendered them potent. Still others were things half glimpsed
on a dark night or seen only in the mind's eye; strange beasts that
haunted dreams and visions or inhabited exotic lands beyond the
compass of everyday knowledge. This book discusses the various ways
in which the early English and Scandinavians thought about and
represented these other inhabitants of their world, and considers
the multi-faceted nature of the relationship between people and
beasts. Drawing on the evidence of material culture, art, language,
literature, place-names and landscapes, the studies presented here
reveal a world where the boundaries between humans, animals,
monsters and objects were blurred and often permeable, and where to
represent the bestial could be to holda mirror to the self. MICHAEL

"Supernatural as Natural "examines ways in which our religious
beliefs and experiences are products of our biological make-up.
This book takes as its fundamental starting point the insight that
humans are animals whose primary means of adapting to the world is
culture, including religion.
With a foreword by Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life,
this revised and updated edition will help you find true
happiness--if you choose to accept it. We've all been hurt by other
people, we've hurt ourselves, and we've hurt others. And as a
result, every single one of us ends up with some sort of hurt,
hang-up, or habit. But the question we all face is, Where do we go
from here? Ten years after the original edition of Life's Healing
Choices, this newly revised edition contains updates to basic
teaching principles--based on ten years' experience--as well as new
and contemporary testimonies. Using the Beatitudes of Jesus as a
foundation, Rick Warren and John Baker, pastors at Saddleback
Church, developed the eight choices shared in this book. In
addition to practical, encouraging biblical teaching, each chapter
includes two real-life testimonies of men and women whose lives
have been transformed by living out the eight choices in this book.
Through making each of these choices, you too will find God's
pathway to wholeness, growth, spiritual maturity, happiness, and
healing. You'll find real answers, real hope, and a real
future--one healing choice at a time.

audience.
Eight simple yet powerful choices are the basis of this
promise-filled book, in which author John Baker reveals God's
enlightening passageway to wholeness, growth, spiritual maturity,
and yes, real happiness. These eight choices have been life-tested
in more than 400,000 lives in 10,000 churches through the
nationwide Celebrate Recovery ministry.
Rather than focusing on the past, these eight choices provide an
optimistic view to the future and authentic hope for lasting
change. Readers will discover the answers that have already brought
freedom and healing to hundreds of thousands who were searching for
liberation and peace. These eight positive principles are based on
the Beatitudes of Jesus, offering hope, new life, and spiritual
healing. Choice by choice, readers will learn how to deal with past
choices, take control where they can, and make new choices that
will change their lives forever.
Based on Rick Warren's sermon series "Road to Recovery," Ocho
Decisiones Sanadoras" promises freedom from life's hurts, hang-ups,
and habits. And just in case there is any doubt that these choices
really work, dramatic and inspirational stories of real-life people
who have found healing in these eight choices are included at the
conclusion of every chapter. Encouraging and biblically based,
these tried-and-proven eight principles -- such as admitting need,
finding help, and letting go -- provide real hope, real answers,
and a realfuture for those who desire a lasting change in their
