Spiritual Geometry 101- Crooked Lines, by Mark Masserant

Masserant’s hopeful and irreverent memoir, which came out earlier this year, contains 20 different essays and tales from his recovery. He explores serious topics in his life like the 12 Steps, his drug and alcohol addiction, and his detox experience, all while never taking himself too seriously.

David’s down-to-earth memoir looks at her experience with addiction and recovery that will be relatable to anyone who has tackled the same difficulties she has.

On A Wing And A Prayer, by Leah Banyan

On A Wing And A Prayer takes readers around the world with her as she recounts her journeys to the ends of the earth, while remembering the road to recovery she took along the way. 

Love, Recovery, and God’s Grace, by J.G. Woodward
