Book Cover & Preview Text
If you’re anything like me, then you have a sponsor who always tells you to read about this and write about that. I mean, hey, it’s what we do in 12-step recovery, right? We uncover so that we can discover, in order recover! That’s just how it works!
In addition to all the reading and writing, I was always told to look up words. Not only the words I don’t know, but also the words I think I know. Corny! That’s exactly what I thought when I first heard someone suggest it. But I have to be honest, it revolutionized my thought process and ability to learn. Many years later, as a Christian studying the Bible, I have continued to do the same. If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it!
Another vital lesson I learned in my 30 plus years in 12-step recovery was this: I need to experience evidence, truth, and God for myself. It just isn’t enough to listen to others share and hope to identify. Recovery is a personal journey and freedom is found in the experience.
I have discovered that learning God’s word and His will for my life as a Christian is no different. It is a personal journey with personal experiences! I quickly discovered that I couldn’t just read a verse and think about what it meant to me; I had to dig in! As I dug deep into His word, I began to see the many ways 12-step recovery paralleled the Bible…WOW!

About the Author
Rob Lambert is a gifted communicator and leader at the Recovery House of Worship (RHOW) Bronx church. His love for Christ, coupled with compassion and the enthusiasm to reach and serve the recovery community, has led him to impact people across the country and around the globe.
Rob was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, to parents who were tormented by substance abuse. As a result, he started down the same path at the tender age of eleven.
In 1988, while caught in the grips of a crack cocaine addiction, Rob attended his first 12-step recovery meeting. After a struggle to maintain long-term clean time, he finally became free from drugs in 2005. However, his flesh continued to lead him down a road of destruction, ravaging his life and the lives of those around him. Except now, he couldn’t blame the drugs!
In 2009, with four years clean and desperately searching for something greater than himself—his Higher Power--Rob left Massachusetts. He moved into the Recovery House of Worship (RHOW) in Brooklyn, New York, to participate in the Faith-Based Men’s Recovery Program. Shortly after, he surrendered his life to Christ!
Since 2009, Rob has faithfully served in various ministries with RHOW Brooklyn, Bronx, and online churches.
In 2013, Rob completed a three-year Certification Program in Pastoral Theology from Urban Academy (URBACAD) and is a passionate student of the Word.
He is a singer/songwriter, actor, and playwright, most noted for the off-Broadway musical “Born in Brockton Born Again in Brooklyn.”
Rob is married to Wanda, who supports him unconditionally by being the ministry “behind the scenes.” They have a beautiful dog named Nāhgee, a bunch of nieces and nephews, and a never-ending love for Jesus, pizza, and ice cream.
