One day coming home from work I went into a book store to find a book on Church History. To get to the religion section, I had to walk past the self-help books. The name of this book caught my eye. How many times had my wife told me that I never wanted to open up and have deep talks. I bought this book instead of the one on Church History as I was hoping this could give me some answers.]]>
While the focus of the book is what’s in a man’s heart it is also very insightful about what woman most desire and hence were designed for. These revelations about men and women are revelations about the nature of God himself.
This is a must read for every Christian for it’s invaluable perspective on manhood, womanhood and what every parent must know about how to raise a boy into manhood. This has been the single greatest book I’ve ever read pertaining to what a real man, especially a real man of God, ought to be in order to live out God’s plan and feel truly alive! God has given us permission to be men and in fact a charge to do so.

When a person attends a Chemical Recovery group, it is best that they do so with their discipling partner or prayer partner or, at least someone from their discipling group. This is done on account of the person bringing them, knows them and can help in the best possible way. Bringing someone through group should be condsidered an honor as it allows us to participate at a time in a persons life when they can see God moving and changing them in a powerful way. It is not, of course, the only time, but often it marks a significant turning point in their walk with Jesus.
A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23 is by no means a new book, but it is being recommended for CR reading due to it's relevance to both the recovering addict and whoever is taking them through the group. Written by Phillip Keller, once a real shepherd in Africa, it is a moving and inspiring look at Psalm 23. His writing allows the reader to see this beautiful Psalm in a new light while challenging those whose hearts are truly set to imitate Jesus, to re-evaluate their lives and their qualities as a shepherd.
If you only read two books this year. Make one of them, the Bible and A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23 the other!
