In her stunningly transparent memoir, From Shattered to Restored, Nanette Larson shares her journey from a life of constant hopelessness and despair, deep depression, crippling anxiety, and suicidality, to one full of victorious hope and purpose. In this life-changing Restoration Guide, Nanette expands on the faith and recovery principles first shared in her memoir to help readers develop a deep and abiding relationship with God as they recover hope and discover purpose in their own lives. This companion Restoration Guide offers practical application of faith and recovery principles for small groups and individuals. Each chapter mirrors its respective chapter in the memoir, utilizing study questions, points for reflection, prayers, pertinent Scripture, and more. Through the teaching and interactive prompts in the Restoration Guide, the reader will learn how to apply four essential principles of restoration that are continuously woven throughout the journey of recovery and discovery: Abide in Christ. Cast down every high thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God. Renew your mind through the Word of God. Yield to the Holy Spirit. Position your heart for the Holy Spirit to do the real work of recovery and discovery as you open the pages of your heart before God with the pages of the Restoration Guide.
