Celebrate Recovery Materials

There are a number of resources available to Celebrate Recovery ("CR") participants. It is worth saying that all of these materials are official CR materials. There are lots of other great materials out there too, but in our CR program only authentic CR materials are permitted. For instance, in my one-to-one discussions I may have the opportunity to tell about some of the great books I have read that have helped with my spiritual growth and recovery. But in this blog, in our program, on our information table, we will maintain the CR DNA (that is, Celebrate Recovery's unique characteristics) by using only the official materials.

I have personally used or reviewed some of the following:

• The CR podcasts;
  
• The participant's guides;
• The Celebrate Recovery Bible;
• Testimonies to Go DVDs;
• Celebrate Recovery Words DVD;
• The Celebrate Recovery Visual Kit (Volume 2);
  
• The Celebrate Recovery Journal; and
  
• I have also listened to Rick Warren's series he preached at Saddleback on recovery.

This is not a complete list of the available materials by any stretch of the imagination. There are a whole bunch of things that I want to use myself, but in the midst of our launch and everything I just have to pace myself because I cannot take it all in at once. If you want to get a look at some of the many resources you can go to the official Celebrate Recovery Web site. There is also an online retailer I have now used twice and feel comfortable endorsing: christianbooksbibles.com.

I'm not trying to drive the sale of our CR materials; we're not making a profit on the sale of these items. But I really think they are valuable and I look forward to using them on my recovery journey.
