Rating:  - Best Christian view of the Twelve Steps
I have been clean and sober for more than 25 years and after I became a Christian, I looked for something that would help tie the two together. Generally I have been disapointed, the things I found clearly did not really understand the Steps. But when I got this Bible I no longer needed to search.
This Bible shows an understanding of the Bible, Christianity and an understanding of how the Twelve Steps really work in my life. Every time I pick up the Life Recovery Bible I find things that speak to me, inspire me and help me live life on life's terms. I recommend this to people I sponsor and have bought copies to give away. I love this book.
Rating: - This Bible is a Blessing!
I own about 5 other bibles, but none of them compare to the ease of reading, spiritual insights, and overall encouragement on my path of spiritual recovery. I use The Life Recovery Bible in conjunction with Steve Arterburn's "Healing is a Choice 40 day challenge ( a list of affirmations www.healingisachoice.com )to start my day.
Although it might be nice to have this bible in another translation, I believe that what makes this book such a useful tool is the use of the New Living Translation. This version speaks to me in a way that none of the other versions do. When I want to memorize scripture, I go to the NKJV (New King James Version) or the NIV (New International Version). When I go to church I use the NKJV. When I want to be encouraged, strengthened, and to apply the Word of God to my life using the principles of the 12 steps, I read The Life Recovery Bible. The Serenity, 12 Step sections, and Personality Profiles are very helpful to me.
In addition to being a great book for those seeking recovery or in recovery from addictions of any kind, I believe this bible will be a great gift for a new Christian or to anyone who is interested in finding out what being a Christian is all about.
Rating: - Great for anyone in recovery!
This is the perfect Bible for anyone who is recovering from an addiction. The translation is easy to read and understand. The helps included for each of the Twelve Steps give more direction than just reading your particular twelve step group's literature. The Recovery Themes help in recovery and your walk with God. The indexes for twelve step, recovery principle and serenity prayer devotionals lead you to great ways to start each day. All in all, I think Bill W. and Jimmy K. would have loved this Bible!

I own many good Bibles, but this one is in a class by itself. It's directly relevant to day-to-day life. It's outstanding! This Bible deserves more thatn a five-star rating.
