Welcome to United in Victory Church. Referred to by many as 'United in Victory Tabernacle on the Hill Freewill, Baptist, Catholic and Episcopal Church of God in Christ, ' because of the church's diverse make-up, the church was founded in 1956 by Bishop Al. B. Wright Just, Sr. From its inception until now, United in Victory's congregation is intricately woven into its historical quilt. Members come with their own distinctive set of traits and personalities. Some are living, while others are deceased. Some joined the church and stayed, while others joined the church and left. Whatever the circumstance, each congregant has contributed their own unique fiber to the church's colorful patchwork. Within the walls of this fictional church world lies beauty and betrayal, friction and feuds, hymns and mayhem, holiness and haughtiness, malice and miracles, sanctity and scandal, set-ups and cover-ups, sin and salvation, The Gospel and gossip, and temptation and triumph. Secrets have stayed hushed and gossiped about for generations amongst the congregation's intriguing and unforgettable characters. But now...the untold stories are being told. From the Annals of United in Victory Church, comes the first of the United in Victory Book Series, the story of Serenity House: From Addiction to Deliverance.

God wants to take us on a pilgrimage to a place where hopelessness is replaced by hope, and death is traded for life. In this 365 day devotional, we read how words spoken from respect and wisdom, darkness is exchanged for God's light, depression is substituted for action and service, and addiction is swapped for recovery. We climb into Jesus' lap to find rest and peace simply because we can. The meditations are our story. An imperfect journey, by imperfect people, into the loving arms of the Father. We have been saved by the blood of Jesus and encouraged by the Holy Spirit to continue the recovery journey on his way, not ours. Serenity is possible, because all things are possible for those who believe in Christ Jesus.

Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God’s mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help.

... I looked around his room at all of his things and I realized there was only one thing that was obviously and painfully missing... Tyler. I continued to sob as I sat up on his bed and hugged his little blue pillow. I felt so deeply the massive void that Tyler’s absence had left in my heart. ... “Trust me, I got this.” God? Is that you? A rush of relief came over me. Ever since, I’ve heard those words “Trust me” whispered to me often from the Lord. Those words that I will always hold onto, as it brings me great peace. Freedom... I don’t have to worry! “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” Psalm 56:3 NIV Tom Hibbs recounts his fond and heartbreaking memories that he had with his beloved late son, Tyler. It is a compilation of stories that outline his son’s rise to baseball success, the harrowing impact of drug addiction, and the saving grace of Jesus through tragedy. Tom’s hope is that anyone who reads this book will not only experience the compelling stories of Tyler’s life, but most importantly, will be open to the invitation of everlasting life through Jesus Christ. Throughout his memoir, he encourages us that God’s plans are impossible to imagine. Tragedy is unforeseen, hardship is difficult to explain, and peace is sometimes hard to be found. But, if we allow Him, God will gracefully rebuild us and invite Himself in. Ultimately, He will turn us into a masterpiece that we could’ve never foreseen or imagined.
