{"product_id":"2940149174614","title":"Recovery Through The Proverbs","description":"To live a perfect Christian life in obedience to the Lord is most believers' desire.  Know anyone like that? I don't either! Each Christian is expected to pursue his own sanctification in faith (Php. 2:12 \u0026amp; Php. 1:6 respectively). The average believer falls short.  This author believes that anyone’s walk of sanctification  can be greatly enhanced by doing recovery work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe're all sinners by definition and therefore have left a trail of wrongs and damaged  relationships behind us. Many have no clue as to how to cease doing so or repair past errors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProverbs yield some of the most concentrated and applicable principles for sanctification and recovery (from emotional and psychological dysfunction) found in the Bible. It is replete with godly wisdom and its application to everyday life.¿\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis recovery-oriented commentary on Proverbs comes from 8 years experience in recovery work and 6 years of recovery ministry. Denny was “forced” into recovery as a result of nearly dying from a subliminal conflict (due to an early parental-abuse situation). After discovery of the repressed early abuse, he and Helen (his wife) began their recovery journey. Helen awakened to the emotional and physical abuse that she had suffered as a child. Neither of them had ever “looked back” to try and understand their various struggles as adults. It never occurred to either of them to do so before recovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter two years of working their issues they began a recovery ministry at Evangelical Free Church of Huntington Beach, CA. This involved attending Minerth Meier Solutions meetings, a Sunday school class and attendant group sessions. Many insights were garnered during these years and are now being shared in this commentary.","brand":"Denny Bolen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084650561776,"sku":"2940149174614","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149174614_p0.jpg?v=1763713795","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149174614","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
