What to DO if a Family Member or Friend Has Been Arrested?
We recommend for you to read the link below. The O’Mara Law Group has put together an extensive guide to help family members or friends in case a loved one is arrested, which is important to know if they are unfamiliar with the process. The guide includes information about the steps to take after the arrest, what to be aware of if your loved one has mental health issues or disabilities, if they are a minor, and much more.

My story began with a book inside a jail cell. From there, throughout the years I have relied on books to grow my spirit and mentor me. The reading list below offers a few that have helped me and my recovery. I hope you get a chance to read them.

THE LIFE RECOVERY BIBLE
The Life Recovery Bible is the most read book in my entire library. Hands down. If you don't have one, get one. With recovery commentary on nearly every page, it helps us understand what the scriptures are saying to achieve success in a daily recovery program. When one is too tattered to read, I get another one. I have had several through the years, and I cherish them all.
NO LIMITS NO BOUNDARIES BY TIZ HUCH
This is the best handbook I have ever read on prayer. It literally gets me fired up and motivated to pray every time I read it. I use it often as a daily devotional to remind me of the promises of God and to read along and pray the prayers at the end of the chapters.
Free at last
Does your family history or that of a loved one have a common thread of dysfunction, marital problems, sickness, or abuse that goes from generation to generation? If so, this book is for you. There are countless ways you can be affected by the hurtful patterns that have been knowingly and unknowingly passed down through the generations. But you can break free.
PEp talk
The purpose of a pep talk is to make someone feel more confident, courageous, and enthusiastic. We all need a pep talk every day! Terri Savelle Foy reveals how giving yourself a pep talk consistently and intentionally is key to achieving your dreams. Why? Because your words are powerful and the words you speak about yourself are even more powerful. Discover what to say from God's Word about your future dreams and goals.
POWER OF A PRAYING WIFE
Power of a Praying Wife was given to me by one of my many spiritual mothers in my church. It quickly became a daily devotion for me as a first-time wife with no idea how to be married. It brought so much hope to me and I know it will do the same for you. Include it in your bridal shower gift.
CELEBRATE RECOVERY INSIDE
This is the Celebrate Recovery Step Study book (with all 4 study guides in one book). I use this book inside treatment centers, jails, prisons, and other institutions. If you are looking for an effective Bible study focusing on the 12 Steps for institutional use, this will be a great fit. It has been approved for prison/jail use across the nation and even internationally. I cannot recommend this book enough. I have seen many lives transformed through this study, including my own!
