The Primary text that we use for recovery is the
Life Recovery Bible which states:
The new testament is a book about recovery.
It looks back to the Old Testament Scriptures, which record God's good creation of our world, but then sin's entrance on the scene through the bad choices of God's highest creation -- the human race.
The Old Testament reveals the painful consequences and the fall and the beginnings of God's plan for our recovery from its powerful grip.
The New Testament completes this story through the amazing life and sacrificial death of God's son Jesus Christ.
It is through HIM that we can discover the source and the power for our own deliverance. the Scriptures provide us with the only real pathway to wholeness --- God's program for forgiveness, reconciliation, and healing.
