The old saying "time heals all wounds" sounds nice, but the truth is that years of buried pain often make things worse! Founded on Jesus' proven teachings rather than psychological theories, Baker's program offers a path to overcoming hurts, hang-ups, and bad habits. Includes the true story behind the movie Home Run. 144 pages, softcover from Zondervan.

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 a 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.
