Real Stories of Healing, Freedom, and Transformation
Testimonies have been a vital part of Celebrate Recovery since the very first meeting in November 1991. Testimonies to Go Vol. 13–14 continues that legacy by sharing authentic stories of men and women whose lives were transformed through Christ-centered recovery.
Each story reflects how God uses Celebrate Recovery to change the lives of believers struggling with hurts, hang-ups, and habits.
