    About this ebook

    Many recovery books are for the beginner, and that makes sense. But then what? This grace-filled book is for people at later stages in their recovery who are looking to uncover the underlying causes for their addiction and heal the psychological and spiritual pain, often lingering from childhood that many addicts bear. Grace Lost and Found is an inspirational and deep exploration of problems and pain; providing a compassionate approach to healing addictions, compulsions and other unhealthy habits. The 40 essays, each with their own set of practices and affirmations, engage readers on a journey through body, mind and spirit, symbolic symptoms, pain messages, levels of consciousness, and an expanded view of identity and life. The essays reach right to the bottom of the addict’s bag of tricks--lack of accountability, the tendency to externalize blame, willfulness, defending and pretending, immaturity, denial--and offer wise, compassionate, and get-real spiritual counsel. As Cook reminds us, we tend to grow most from pain and crisis: “I help people find the ultimate treasure in their problems, the messages in their pain and the metaphors in their symptoms. We are all being guided to a higher, healthier path, when we pay attention.”

    Mary Cook

    Mary Cook has published almost a dozen books, all of which have become Canadian best sellers! These are books compiled of memories of a more gentle time in our history..an era called the Dirty Thirties. Cook transports us back to that time with humour and sometimes pathos, but always with a warmth unmatched by writings of that genre. She introduces us to characters, who turn out to be real people from her past, and who appear time and again, so that we, the reader, become so familiar with them, we can actually picture them romping through the pages. Mary Cook was a well-known broadcaster with CBC for 48 years, bringing her warm and delightful stories to an appreciative audience, and earning her seven ACTRA awards! She has written for Canada’s major newspapers and magazines, and is in constant demand as a guest speaker both here and in other countries.
