"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. –

Pastor Bob Barnett

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.

“Dean Perry introduced our church to the Genesis Process as the leadership was wrestling with how to help people who are “stuck” in life.  Although the Genesis Process is used heavily in drug and alcohol addiction treatment, we have found that those are just two ‘drugs of choice’ among many more ‘drugs”, such as anger, anxiety, food, shopping, control, gambling, pornography, numbing out, etc.  We find that the application of the principles of Genesis Process helps people discover and deal with the things that cause them to be trapped in behaviors that are keeping them from being what God designed them to be.   Our Genesis Change Group ministry is becoming one of the foundational ministries at the church.  I highly recommend the Genesis Process and Genesis Change groups to you.”

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!"

Genesis is so much more than I thought it was, I am currently taking 7 people through the process and our local rescue mission has begun to use the change groups as part of there program. Our own church has opened a counseling center with the emphasis on addiction with Genesis at the heart of it.

 A year ago, our church found out about the Genesis Process training and have sent 8 of our members to get the training. Nine more of our members will get the training this week, plus 15 of our InterAct Missionaries from Alaska and Canada.  Truly God has used it to change our church and give us some practical tools to bring hope for meaningful change to all our lives. We hope God will use this wonderful tool in your lives and the lives of those to whom you minister as well.
In Him,

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. Patrick J. Clinton Director of Church and Community Services 815-965-5332 ext. 106 815-988-6108 (cell) patclinton@rockfordrescuemission.org

DR SOLANGE FREYD-HARLEAUX

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.

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." –
