The Center of Addiction & Faith is offering a one hour free webinar on Wednesday, November 29, from 12 noon – 1:00 p.m., CT. George A. Wood (author, speaker, and pastor at Sober Truth Project) will lead a discussion surrounding his brand new book, The Uncovery Devotional: Rethinking Recovery One Day at a Time, co-authored by Brit Eaton.
Everyone is recovering from something. Whether it’s an addiction, a painful incident from our past, or a daily challenge just to get by in this world, something is holding us back from the life God wants for us. Real recovery isn’t a one-time event or a process that fits into twelve steps or a preset length of time. Uncovering how to live free of what holds you back is a lifelong journey and one best traveled with others.
