Follow The Solid Rock Road: Pathway to Radical Recovery Paperback – December 14, 2009

When I came across this book, I ordered 2. I am not even half way through this book and it has already made a huge impact on my life. I love that Sherry and Jamee have been exactly where I've been and have a genuine desire to help others. There is definitely no sugar coating anything, which is exactly what we want, right? If you truly want to break your addictions, this book is....beyond a shadow of a doubt, 100%, the book you need to read. I so appreciate the straight to the point honesty. I am so excited, I have been sharing this program with anyone who will listen. I found a home for the extra book I ordered, and I am getting ready to purchase more. I personally believe that alcohol and drugs are one of the main portals that Satan uses to destroy lives.When you become free by God's grace, it is the most unbelievable joy you will ever know. This book will help put everything into proper perspective. Everything worthwhile requires effort. Don't waste anymore precious time."I need a supernatural heart surgery and a divine brain transplant. I need the mind of Christ and the heart of God - the purest form of recovery"May God bless you all.

Although I am only halfway throught this terrific book, I thought it a great idea to let others know what a great book it is. It is for ALL Christians and not just those dealing with any type of addiction. I follow Solid Rock Road on both Facebook and Twitter. On Twitter I am always retweeting their tweets as they are filled with wisdom and references to the Lord and His Word. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to enrich their walk with the Lord! :-)

I love this book because it encourages people to come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Naming His name is way too radical for most Twelve-Step recovery rooms, but not for people on The Solid Rock Road. I rejoice to see two brave sisters willing to point to Jesus, who alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.I know, I know -- the Higher Power has a name and will work with us no matter what we call Him. But these two authors have taken a courageous step in a program where so many are "runaways" from the church, unaware that Christ did not die to start a religion. For me, it's all about having a personal relationship with the Maker of the Universe. It was news to me that I was created for that relationship, that all God ever wanted for me was freedom and safety and joy in Him. The one criticism I have of this book is that it seeks to be encouraging but sometimes comes across as bossy. Unfortunately, we can't control people, especially when it comes to Jesus. Unfortunately, "head knowledge" is "dead knowledge" until the Holy Spirit brings it to life.My favorite part of this book is its emphasis on surrender. Twelve-Step recovery does teach surrender, but on The Solid Rock Road we actually know the One to whom we are surrendering and we acknowledge Him in all our ways. Evidence of His sweet embrace and excellent guidance is shared, and credit is given where credit is due. The title of this book might just as well have been, "The Higher Power Is A Person -- Who Knew?"This is way too radical for many in recovery, but for those on The Solid Rock Road, it is Basic Information Before Leaving Earth (kudos to whoever thought up that acronym). I applaud the two authors, and I join them in pointing to God as best we can and praying for those He brings to our awareness.

Great info and applicable too! This is for anyone struggling with overcoming chemical addiction or even family and friends that have loved ones battling substance abuse. Both sides can be impacted to change.

You don't have to be recovering from substance abuse of any kind to be a candidate to read this awesome book.If your recovering from a divorce. This book Is a real eye opener. A true must read for everyone.

This book is what we were looking for that we may minister to the saved and unsaved people, and to get real with ourself and with the Lords.Thank you Pastor

As a pastor and couselor, this is the best program out there. It is about becoming a New You.

I found "Follow the Solid Rock Road" to be an excellent and challenging resource, for it goes beyond mere recovery from substance abuse to holistic living (as all good recovery books do) and also has an edge and intensity that may be necessary for some programs to succeed, depending on those involved.The book covers a great deal of ground as it offers 10 principles for addicts to adopt in order to successfully continue in lifelong sobriety without relapse or excuses. The writers pull from a wealth of personal experiences, some of which are heartbreaking and terrifying, and the read is not only instructive but, for particular segments, deeply compelling. I walked away from this book not only with memorable tools but very useful anecdotes and real-life cautionary tales.And be assured, in recovery, people will need them, especially if they are going through this book. "Follow the Solid Rock Road" is a pull-no-punches sort of program that demands a response. From an approach of sincere but tough love, the writers call persons in addiction to take full responsibility for sin before finding forgiveness and restoration through faith in Christ Jesus. They do this with a steady tone that challenges the reader while conveying care and empathy."Follow the Solid Rock Road" is the type of resource that can only come from the heart and mind of those who have recovered themselves, who bear the scars of sin and the renewal thereafter. I found myself highlighting passages regularly, and I feel like anyone leading a small group or starting a recovery addiction program at a church may find this tool to be useful and affective.
