For anyone walking the long, winding path of recovery—from addiction, trauma, burnout, or brokenness—there comes a moment when we long for more than just sobriety. We long for healing. For peace. For purpose.
Jesus Was A Camper: A Trail Guide for Meaningful Living for Fellow Wanderers in Recovery meets us right there—at the intersection of struggle and surrender—and shows us that even Jesus chose the wilderness to prepare for His greatest battles and deepest transformation.
⛺ Jesus and the Wilderness of Recovery
Before He ever taught the crowds or healed the sick, Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness—fasting, praying, and confronting temptation head-on. Sound familiar?
That’s recovery.
That’s Step Work.
That’s surrender, struggle, and spiritual awakening in real time.
This book explores how the life of Jesus mirrors the 12 Steps, not just in principle, but in practice:
-
Step 1: Admitted we were powerless… — Jesus withdrew into solitude to confront the limits of the flesh.
-
Step 3: Made a decision to turn our will… — Jesus modeled surrender to the Father’s will daily, even when it led to hardship.
-
Step 5: Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being… — Jesus created space for confession, community, and vulnerability.
-
Step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation… — Jesus constantly stepped away to pray, reflect, and realign.
He camped.
He wandered.
He faced temptation, loneliness, and hunger.
And He came back stronger, clearer, and deeply connected to His mission.
