Rosario ""Roz"" Picardo is one of the founding pastors at Mosaic Church, a seven-year-old United Methodist, multicultural church in Dayton, Ohio (www.wearemosaic.org). In addition to his work in the church, Roz is a national speaker, leads a consulting group for church planters/pastors called Picardo Coaching LLC, and is the author of nine books. He holds a Master of Divinity degree from Asbury Theological Seminary, a Doctor of Ministry from United Theological Seminary, and an MBA from Dakota Wesleyan University.
Working a Christian 12-step strategy into a rich 40-day devotional journey, Picardo has given the reader a trusted field guide to lead through the challenges of addiction to victory. He does not share his wisdom from afar, as one who teaches but does not practice. In my nearly 40 years of ministry, I know no one who can successfully plant and grow a ministry or a church better than my good friend Rosario Picardo. This book is the fruit from both his own personal battle and from building a successful recovery worshipping community out of his church. The various expressions of Recovery emerging from inside and outside of the church are a true expression of what the Spirit of God is doing today to set the captives free. Rosario Picardo invites the reader on the journey of their life to freedom! - Pete Bellini, United Theological Seminary
