This book examines the disconnect between the secular and church cultures in the area of 'addiction recovery'. The focus is on the relationship between the recovery community and the church community as it relates to the missional purpose of the church. Both secular and faith-based recovery programs are explored with particular interest in the churches' effectiveness or lack thereof in building bridges to the recovery community. The work focused on the relationship between the recovery community and the church community and explored the effect a church-based recovery ministry had upon the missional understanding of the church. The project described various recovery ministries in the neighborhood and beyond, both secular and faith-based, to understand the program of each and how it relates to the church. The Study surveyed two models of the Celebrate Recovery[registered] ministry, one at Grace United Methodist Church in Cape Coral, Florida, and one at Cokesbury United Methodist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.
