Innovative Approaches to Recovery Ministry

Discover the power of recovery ministry for your church.Churchgoers who experience painful family issues, addictions, abuse, loss, mental illnesses, and other secret sorrows begin to believe they live beyond the grip of God’s redemptive hand. Pastors often feel ill equipped to help with such problems and refer people to resources outside the church. People badly need Christ-centered counsel and encouragement, but few church leaders even know where to start.Bridges to Grace is an inspiring introduction highlighting the stories of churches across the country that are thinking systematically and organizationally about the ministry of recovery. The authors share how this ministry is bringing God’s grace to hurting individuals. They relate both success and failure, and best of all, they demonstrate how God uses recovery ministry powerfully for his kingdom purposes.

Hope & Encouragement

I love this compilation of recovery and ministry stories. Stories of restoration and healing are shared with compassion through experience. Every church that is alive can find inspiration and modeling in Bridges to Grace to begin a recovery program suited to specifically reach the lost in their community.
