Download or read book Twelve Steps to Spiritual Freedom written by Joanna Thyer. This book was released on 2014-02-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelve step addiction recovery process often comes in many variations and interpretations; while each variation may focus on different aspects of recovery, they all stem from the groundbreaking work of Bill W. and Dr. Bob Smith, the founders of the organization known as Alcoholics Anonymous. Twelve Steps to Spiritual Freedom: Understanding the Christian Roots of Twelve Step Programs aligns this 20th century construct with its roots in centuries old practices. This sensible approach brings together the deep spiritual tradition of Christianity to complement and support the hands-on, daily work of twelve-step programs. Interspersed with personal experiences, Understanding the Christian Roots of Twelve Step Programs identifies and contextualizes the natural connections between Christian mysticism and the wisdom of twelve step programs and makes this information usable for readers. With her intelligent and pragmatic approach, author Joanna Thyer speaks to those who struggle within twelve step programs and to the counselors, therapists, social workers, and family and friends who support their recovery efforts. Knowing the origins can make the journey through addiction recovery grounded, personal, and rooted in faith.

Book excerpt: Don Williams powerfully relates in 12 Steps with Jesus that by allowing Jesus to fill the emptiness that leads to addictive behavior, readers can leave addiction in the dust! Churches must lead people to dependence on Jesus. When we give ourselves wholly to Christ, He will fill us wholly, replacing the hollowness that results in addictions. In twelve practical steps, Williams reveals how to achieve spiritual fulfillment in Christ, discover freedom from addiction, and embrace the abundant life that God promises to all of His followers.

Book Synopsis One Day at a Time by : Trevor Hudson

Download or read book One Day at a Time written by Trevor Hudson. This book was released on 2007. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trevor Hudson has written One Day at a Time for anyone who: worries too much, struggles with compulsive or addictive behavior, battles with stress and tension, sabotages relationships with destructive behavior, feels trapped by feelings of self-condemnation, guilt, and regret, worships regularly but feels bogged down in pious cliches. If you identify with any of the descriptions above, take heart. There is hope. Plug in to the Power. Working the 12 Steps can become God's surprising way of keeping your life on track. Two passions shape Trevor's ministry: helping ordinary Christ-followers discover a compassionate, down-to-earth, and life-giving spirituality and building missional faith communities where people can link the inward and outward dimensions of their Christian faith. He is the author of A Mile in My Shoes and The Way of Transforming Discipleship. In ministry for over thirty years, Trevor spent most of this time in and around Johannesburg, South Africa. Presently he is part of the pastoral team at Northfield Methodist Church in Benoni with special responsibilities for teaching and preaching. He also travels widely leading conferences, retreats, and workshops. Book jacket.

Book Synopsis Breathing Under Water by : Richard Rohr

Download or read book Breathing Under Water written by Richard Rohr. This book was released on 2013-11-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous is America's most significant and authentic contribution to the history of spirituality, says Richard Rohr. He makes a case that the Twelve Steps relate well to Christian teaching and can rescue people who are drowning in addiction and may not even realize it. To survive the tidal wave of compulsive behavior and addiction, Christians must learn to breathe under water and discover God's love and compassion. In this exploration of Twelve Step spirituality, Rohr identifies the Christian principles in the Twelve Steps, connecting The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous with the gospel. He draws on talks he has given for over twenty years to people in recovery and those who counsel and live with people with addictive behavior. Rohr offers encouragement for becoming interiorly alive and inspiration for making one's life manageable for dealing with the codependence and dysfunction (sin) rampant in our society.
