"The Genesis Process
provides a practical guide for counselors and clients to develop an
innovative and effective relapse prevention program using Biblical
principles and the latest brain chemistry research. The major challenge
in treating addictions is to reduce relapse while integrating them into
a healthy lifestyle. I recommend this process to all those who are
relapse prone and want sobriety and a changed life." –

"At last, a relapse
prevention process based on client participation, counseling techniques.
A dramatic combination of Biblical principles for change, neurochemistry
and the latest recovery tools. Social integration is fostered through a
directive, individual, counseling relationship. Clients gain insight
into subconscious wounds that have driven their addiction behaviors.
This Work book is appropriate for both residential and out-patient
settings." –

The "Genesis Process" is a
gift from God. It's a relevant, biblically balanced, and profoundly
practical. It is able to help folks who may have lost hope not only find
it again, but also for them to experience the Grace of God. Michael Dye
has caught the heart of God in a marvelous way. –

The Genesis Process is a
God-given tool that allows a person to move from the so prevalent
religiosity to real freedom, healing and wholeness in Christ. It is
also a very transferable process that can be taught to others enabling a
multiplied counseling ministry in the church and community. The newly
written workbook for Change Groups is easily implemented with remarkable
results. Those who have found healing and wholeness by working through
the Genesis Process themselves are eagerly recruiting others for change
groups which they now lead or participate in. I highly recommend the
process, the materials and the teacher as biblical, practical and God's
genuine gifts to the church and to the lost world around us. This
process is key to our strategy to reclaim lost territory and broken
hurting people for our Lord.

As we, at Shepherd's Door,
have watched our clients enter the Genesis portion of their program we
have seen a remarkable thing happen. Women are truly emotionally
courageous as they face the false belief system, choose to walk through
the pain of memory, walk through the grief the memory initiates then
choose to forgive. In this Genesis process we have witnessed
supernatural healing from the Lord with those who choose to embrace
truth. It has made a profound difference in our program. –

I've been a pastor for
over 18 years and the main issue I have struggled with is how do I help
people make deep and lasting changes and become conformed to the image
of Christ? Having discovered the Genesis Process I now feel like I have
the answer. One woman in our fellowship said that though she has
attended all types of recovery programs, nothing went as deep and was as
helpful as Genesis. Another person became reunited with our fellowship
after finally finding the help to break the power of her reoccurring
anger. People from all walks of life are coming and are finding freedom
to finally be the person God has called them to be through the Genesis
Process for Change Groups. Having finished book 1, we have people eager
to work through book 2. I've never seen such enthusiasm and willingness
from our people to be real and work on deep and life changing issues.
It has given us all renewed hope! Genesis provides practical and solidly
theologically based material that helps us get at the root of why we do
the very things we don't want to do. It helps us discover that by
making church a safe place for hutting people, they can become the
people that God intended them to be. I whole heartedly recommend it!"

An Open Appeal to
Discover Greater Hope for Addiction Recovery
Many of you know the
passionate forty-year commitment of the Rockford Rescue Mission to
“rescue, recover, and restore” those controlled and being destroyed by
their choices and addictive behavior. We are determined to increase our
non-relapse percentage. I recently returned from a weeklong
seminar/workshop at the Portland Rescue Mission with Michael Dye, CADC
and NCAC II. Michael’s intensive, experiential instruction and practical
application tools convinced all of us (Christians working in rescue
missions, churches, and secular programs) that the seminar was
personally enriching and that the Genesis Process techniques and tools
raised our hopes for those we serve. Go online to
www.genesisprocess.org for descriptions and endorsements. The
heart of the Genesis Process for residential, out patient, pastoral, and
lay counselor use is this. After determining that a client is ready to
seriously work on a recovery plan, the client purchases “The Genesis
Process Workbook”. Over a period of eighteen weeks the client completes
weekly assignments and then meets weekly with a trained counselor for
60-90 minute counselor-directed sessions. Genesis is quite different, it
targets both the addiction and the underlying issues that support it. It
is both professional and biblical.
The Rockford Rescue
Mission leadership is committed to improving our healing environment and
recovery programs. This includes fully incorporating The Genesis Process
Addiction Recovery approach and tools. So we’re hosting two events with
Michael Dye: “Genesis Personal Healing and Change Seminar” (Friday night
and all day Saturday, September 10 and 11) and “The Genesis Process
Addiction Counselor Training Seminar” (Monday through Friday, September
13 to 17).
What convinced our
executive director and myself of the value of my going to the Portland
seminar and of our bringing Michael to Rockford was our reading “The
Genesis Process Workbook” and listening to Michael’s introductory tape.
Why don’t you do the same?
I am eager to describe the
processes to you, your staff, volunteers, board, etc. I want to persuade
you that an investment in this training will be one of the most
strategic moves you will make for yourself and those you serve. Michael
guarantees to refund tuition to any participant who is not totally
satisfied.
Sincerely Yours, Dr.

HAVING A MEDICAL TRAINING
IN THE ADDICTION FIELD, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE GENESIS RECOVERY AND
RELAPSE PREVENTION PROGRAM. IT CONTAINS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND RECENT
THEORIES ON ADDICTION. THEY ARE EASILY STATED, SO EVERYONE CAN
UNDERSTAND AND PUT THEM INTO PRACTICE. IT LINKS WITH BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES
AND FAITH BASED RECOVERY PROGRAMS. . IT ALSO INCLUDES A SYSTEMIC
APPROACH AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT DURING A RECOVERY PROGRAM: IT HELPS
THE PERSON TO HAVE UNDERSTANDING, ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT.

From the Christian Growth
Center in Connecticut, A ministry of His Mansion. I have been using the
Genesis Process since last fall. It has been helpful to have a weekly
quality time of discussion with the tenants. We are not very large
program and I have only been doing the book with the men in the program.
They whole idea of a grace based program has also been introduced. In
the past if someone abused they were asked to leave. I try to make a
person comfortable enough to come and talk if they relapse. For two of
the men they found that to be valuable at the time. Someone who recently
arrived was struck even by something said in their introduction, "The
secret of recovery is gratitude." He never heard that before and I want
to ask him weekly what he is grateful for. They farthest I have been
with someone in the process is chapter 7. So we have yet to see someone
complete. I know of a local Rescue mission that desires to introduce the
Genesis Process into their program also.

The Genesis Process gives
women hope that they can maintain sobriety and gain back lives lost to
addiction. Women learn why they "use" and how to avoid relapse. The
Genesis Process uses Scripture to help women trust Jesus as Lord for
abundant and Christ-centered living. - Nora Bopp, Women and Family
Shelter Program Coordinator, Seattle, WA
Rev. Charles E Romanic
We have been using the
Genesis Process in the Men's New Life Discipleship Program at the
Portland Rescue Mission since April 2000. This tool has been the single
most important tool added to our program in the past five years. It has
uniquely enhanced and focused our recovery program.
We are able to openly
identify the lies of life that keep our clients in bondage and to
transform their minds by the truths of God's word and the direction of
God's Spirit. It assists us in building open accountability and support
with other Christian believers who are able to meet with our men and
discuss core, heart issues that bring new life through the experience of
living differently according to the truth.
Since adding this
component to our program in 2000 we have seen significant increases in
the performance of our program graduates. Prior to using Genesis 38% of
our graduates would experience long term recovery and a life of
Christian faith (for more than 2 years). After implementing the Genesis
Process, our long term rates have climbed to 70%. (As of 8/1/02). There
is also an increased stability within the program due to men
acknowledging the true condition of their hearts as they explore new
truths in this process. If you are seeking an answer to how to improve
the internal stability of the men in your program and a way to increase
the long term success of your graduates, then you cannot go wrong by
utilizing the Genesis Process as a major component of your recovery
program. –

"We have been using
Genesis Process for the past one and a half years and we have found
Genesis extremely useful tool for rehabilitation. Most of our residents
say that it is an eye opener for them. It puts in perspectives the What,
Why, When and how of addictive and compulsive behaviors. it gives
insights and helps to see addiction problems from the angles they never
saw before. It is enlightening and life changing experience what we
always been looking for. It empowers the residents to lead victories
lives in Jesus being a Bible based manual." –

I am also the director for
Evangel Fellowship International, Moscow. I travel throughout Russia
training and equipping pastors, leaders of churches and those people
working in rehabilitation. I have been serving as a missionary in Russia
for 8 years. I have been working in the rehabilitation ministry for 7
years. In the many conferences, schools and trainings I have attended or
studied I have not seen any other program in the field of rehabilitation
which results in the stabilizing recovery addicts as does the Genesis
Process. It is within itself a means of regeneration for all who work
the process with sincerity. If taught and used correctly it is a
guarantee that relapse will be prevented. I now use the Genesis Process
in my rehabilitation. I have seen countless lives changed once taken
through the process and taught the life changing structures they can use
in their daily lives to prevent relapse of every kind of addiction. -
