True, lasting recovery requires us to create and maintain inner peace. For many, it springs from a practice of mindfulness, for others from the rituals of religion. But not everyone finds a connection with a Higher Power in those ways. Through daily reflection and meditation, In God’s Care gifts a healing inspiration to our spirit. Steadily, we find spiritual growth.

Recovery is an act of faith. An addict is promised healing and self-development through the rigors of counseling, treatment, therapy, and a Twelve Step program. With motivational guidance, addictive behaviors are abandoned, coping skills are learned, and sobriety is lasting. The cycle of addiction is broken by trusting in the process. This is the power of faith: a new way of life.

Co-author Karen Casey, who wrote the bestselling recovery classic Each Day a New Beginning, harnesses this power to transform life’s struggles into a devotional outlook. These heartfelt meditations encourage the optimism needed for continuous change. It doesn’t matter what we call the goodness we wish to be and see—God or otherwise. It only matters that we hold it in our hearts and affairs as we create a new life. That is the truest definition of a Higher Power.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Such a great meditation book. Seriously appreciate the possibly accidental extra sent in this book—The full length “Serenity Prayer.” Very sweet extra. Thank you for helping me stay sober today. 😀

Strong spiritual reminder

I like the simple strong daily messages. Especially @ this time I needed an everyday reminder of who/what is really running things that wasn’t too long or complicated

Book exactly as advertised.

This book came gently used, as described in description. Excellent value and well received.

Get this Book

Excellent little book to expand spirituality. It has a years calendar of inspirational words to lift you up. It's like the 24 hour book but not as much AA stuff more God.

GREAT FOR DAILY READING

Spiritual without being religious or preachy

I love starting my day with a reading from this little book. It helps bring me into a positive state of mind and allows me my own understanding of the Great Whatever that I call "God." It's never religious, churchy or sectarian, yet it does inspire me and remind me that I am not in control of the universe -- or even my own little world. It's a very helpful part of the 11th step I try to practice every day. It's a great way to start my 24 hours.

Very good

Read it daily

GREAT QUICK read!

I love that I don't have much time I can pull this out and get a quick message with a BIG punch!

I like this meditation book

Speedy shipment

Very inspirational

Great book

In God's Care:/Daily editations on Spirituality & Recovery

I read this book every morning along with my other mediation books to start my day. It really helps me. It was written my recovering alcoholics is one thing I like about it. I feel it is speaking to me also I am learning more about spirituality from it. I would highly recommend this book to recovering alcoholics, (u see I am one myself)

just an all around GREAT read! very uplifting

It is like it is talking to be specifically every day

Exactly what I needed. It is like it is talking to be specifically every day!

I found the quotes and comments particularly pertinent to living a life in recovery.

The author chooses good quotes from a variety of sources that inspire thought and reflection. The following comments lead us into a a thought provoking process of reflection. A great way to start each day. The short nature of the readings does leave me disappointed at times. I will occasionally want to turn the page for more on the topic, only to find a new day's material...

Awesome!

Bought this to read along with a couple other daily morning meditations. It's sooo worth it for those in recovery. 🙂

Spiritual relevance for the recovered who want to grow deeper.

An excellent book for those in recovery who want to grow in enlightenment. And, as always, "as you understand Him". Exceptional quotes from exceptional human beings that inspire and ignite the souls in any group discussion.

Classic comforting inspiration

Lovely daily inspirations by an awesome author. Great for folks in or out of recovery!

Encouraged and Engaged

Life is not easy. It requires a sense of purpose and the courage to keep moving. This book is an outstanding source of daily reminders and encouragement.

Excellent Inspiration and Guidance

I have been using this book for a couple years. I like the quotes and different style of language from the 12 step program I use. It feels more universal in the way that understandable by those who don't know the sayings and lingo specific to a single 12 step program

Food for the brain

The book keep me in touch with my daily devotion to GOD I'm so grateful

Enlightening...

I've had the book over 20 some years and used it often! I was SO GLAD to find it was available for my Kindle!! It is one of the best gifts to give someone! Identify with what you can and let your healing & helping begin! I gave my cherished paperback to a family member for them to have for the next 20 years!

In God's Care - Review

If you are looking for a morning meditation book, this is a great book. Readings are short, labeld by day, and can bring focus to the whole day. If you or someone you know is in recovery it is perfect, safe and inspirational. Would make a great gift to demonstrate support.

I have purchased this 3 times, 2 times as gifts. A quick read in the morning, it gives me direction for the day and often changes how I look at things/people for the day.

One of Karen Casey's Best....

Great combination of recovery and spirituality in one. Typical daily reflection format with quotation, reflection, and summation. Enlightening, uplifting and thought-provoking.

Such an easy and inspiring way to start each day

I've given this book to people in recovery and people who aren't. It doesn't matter, the daily quote and short essay can be used by anyone who wants to begin their day thoughtfully and mindfully. And it doesn't matter if you're a believer or not, either. The book is accessible to anyone.

I have used this book for years to enrich my spiritual growth
