Living Serenity

Deborah Galasso · 2013
74/100
👍 Worth It

Galasso's clinical nursing background gives this Christ-centered Serenity Prayer guide real credibility — this isn't just devotional sentiment but a line-by-line framework grounded in 35 years of behavioral-health practice. It serves a specific and underserved audience (recovery communities seeking a Scripture-based resource) with genuine depth, and the 266-page treatment has room to go beyond surface-level encouragement.
