In keeping with Step Eleven, which names prayer and meditation as the means for improving our conscious contact with GOD, the Recovery Devotional Bible provides a full year of daily Meditations addressing topics in the Bible text.  Each Meditation highlights some aspect of Twelve-Step recovery as it is reflected in a specially chosen passage of Scripture.  A short prayer accompanies each one, and the steps to which each Meditation applies are also listed.

All of these Meditations are written by men and women with firsthand knowledge of recovery.  You'll recognize many of them as experts in the recovery field.  They know what they're talking about, and they all share the conviction that the Twelve Steps are at their core a spiritual program.

The Bible is packed not only with principles that apply to our recovery, but also with people from whom we can learn.  Many biblical characters grew up in what we would now call dysfunctional homes.  Some made tragic choices; others wisely chose the path of facing their own weaknesses and surrendering their lives to GOD; still others made mistakes, but owned up to them and later became greatly used by GOD.  Over fifty of the Meditations in the Recovery Devotional Bible are profiles of these biblical characters.  The person's name just above the title of a Meditation tells you it is a character study.
