The Next Right Step — Digital Edition

You do not have to see the whole road to take the next right step.

Perhaps you are tired of making promises, hiding the struggle, and wondering whether change is still possible.

You are not beyond the reach of God’s grace. And you do not have to take this journey alone.

The Next Right Step: A 30-Day Scripture-Based Journey from Addiction to Freedom by Paul Bane and Joel Bane offers Christian encouragement and practical reflection for the daily work of recovery.

This book does not ask you to repair your entire life in thirty days. It invites you to begin where you are—with honesty, trusted support, and one faithful step at a time.

Inside each daily reading

• Anchor Scripture to ground your reflection in biblical truth.
• Devotional teaching exploring addiction, recovery, and spiritual growth.
• A recovery truth to carry into difficult moments.
• An honest question to help you look beneath the surface.
• Today’s next right step to put reflection into practice.
• Journal prompts and a closing prayer to help you respond honestly to God.
