Let Broken Bones Rejoice

Jesus said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." In a biblical sense, the idea of repentance connotes a turning - turning away from sin and toward God. It also has the idea of seeking to repair broken relationships. That is the goal of this book - to guide readers through a process of turning away from the old life and embracing the new. A close look at the Twelve Steps will surely convince anyone that repentance is at the heart of recovery. Steps 1 through 3, highlight the need to surrender our lives to a higher power. Steps 4 through 9 highlight the need to see ourselves clearly and to seek healing and restoration in our relationships - with ourselves, God, and others. And yet, while we may agree that repentance is important, one might well ask, "How do you do it?" Using Psalm 51 as a starting point, this book seeks to lay out elements that form a life of repentance and conversion. It seeks to guide the reader through a series of personal reflections and actions that will help guide them to healing and reconciliation.
