The Christian Codependence
Recovery Workbook: From Surviving to Significance (Revised and Updated) by
Stephanie Tucker, MDAAC, RAS, M.Min., in conjunction with, A House that
Grace Built, presents healing and wholeness to the body of Christ through a
Christ-centered recovery process.
Designed by the author to assist in the recovery process from issues of
“codependency,” the workbook takes readers on a journey to discovery-giving
them tools that reveal the nature of codependency amongst behaviors and
patterns that can be created within the lives of individuals, families and
within relationships. The Lord has
given the author much insight into the recovery process, enabling families,
addicts and individuals to become free from bondage and strongholds that are
linked to “survival” without a Christ-centered life. Once denial has been addressed, the author reveals the issues,
further exposing the lies, and transitions to the disclosure of truth, disposes
of the dysfunctional strongholds and offers a receiving of His (Jesus Christ’s)
true healing. This workbook is nothing
short of phenomenal! One will find a
comprehensive workbook to bring a life truly centered in Christ and His
freedom.
Within the pages, one will find
much emotional healing with such chapters as: Facing Codependence, Family
Systems, Emotional Strongholds, Love Systems, Ceasing Control: the Pathway to
Surrender, Breaking Free From Denial, Exposing Shame, Receiving the Gift of
Forgiveness, Offering the Gift of Forgiveness, Embracing Authentic Identity, Building
Healthy Boundaries, and Balancing Principles and Priorities. With keen biblical insight, the author
systematically exposes the dysfunctional dynamics in individuals, addicts and
the nature of codependence, while addressing the reality of spiritual
warfare. Further developing a solid
scriptural foundation throughout, the author instructs and encourages readers
that there is hope to be found in the recovery process. All of the principles presented are biblical
solutions offered with compassion and an open-ended question forum at the end
of each chapter. In doing so, the
author gives practical applications to real life situations.
This is a much-needed book within the entire body of
Christ. While salvation is obtained by
believing and confessing Christ, entering into the New Life that Christ offers
can seem like an impossibility for some, as many are entangled in codependent
behaviors derived from a life without Christ.
This book offers the way out of confusion, loneliness, fear and despair
through a Christ-centered recovery process to finding freedom! The author adamantly explains that Jesus is
the ultimate Healer through His abundant Grace! Amen! Both books are
highly recommended and are available to the body of Christ to encounter through
individual study sessions or within group settings. Highly recommended!
