In the complete twenty-five lessons of The Journey Begins, you will experience all eight of the recovery principles from the Beatitudes developed by John Baker in the Celebrate Recovery program: In Volume One: Stepping Out of Denial into God's Grace, you will experience the first 3 of the 8 recovery principles: 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. "Blessed are the poor in spirit" (Matthew 5:3).Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to him, and that he has the power to help me recover. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" (Matthew 5:4).Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control. "Blessed are the meek" (Matthew 5:5).In Volume Two: Taking an Honest and Spiritual Inventory, you will experience an in-depth look at the 4th principle in the recovery process: Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to someone I trust. "Blessed are the pure in heart" (Matthew 5:8).In Volume Three: Getting Right with God, Yourself, and Others, you will move through principles 4-6 in the recovery process: Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to someone I trust. "Blessed are the pure in heart" (Matthew 5:8).Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness" (Matthew 5:6).Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others. "Blessed are the merciful" (Matthew 5:7). "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Matthew 5:9).In Volume Four: Growing in Christ While Helping Others, you will work through the final two principles on the road to recovery. More than just maintenance, principles 7-8 will help you prevent relapse and give you the necessary tools to help others in their recovery process.Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination. Bible reading and prayer in order to know God and his will for my life and to gain the power to follow his will.Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness" (Matthew 5:10).By working through the lessons and exercises found in each of the four volumes of the Participant's Guide 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.
