My take on this Bible:
The Celebrate Recovery Bible is for anyone who is struggling. Filled with so many useful features that will help point you in God's direction. Some of my favorite features are the fifty biblical character studies that are tied to stories from real life people who have struggled and found peace. The recovery stories are about real people that share their path to recovery. This made the Bible seem so much more personal for me, because it allows the user to see that they aren't alone, and with God they can find there way to peace and happiness. These stories are inspiring and uplifting, I love that there is an index so that I can easily locate them. The topical index and the 30 days of devotional reading are quite useful, and really add to the appeal of this Bible. A presentation page makes this a perfect Bible for giving to someone who is struggling.  Overall, I recommend this Bible to anyone and everyone, who want's to end the hurt and start the healing with God's loving help.
