Try Before You Commit: Week One Sample

If standard Christian grief resources have left you feeling dissatisfied and empty, this sample will show you what makes the Recovery Journal for Christian Women and Men different.

What You'll Experience in Week 1

  • Direct engagement with despair – no avoidance, no soft language
  • Daily Scripture, reflection, and writing exercises – structured work, not casual reading
  • Theological depth without academic distance – honest truth about suffering and God's presence
  • Introduction to my special "small things" framework – practical gratitude exercises that build day by day
