Twelve Step Spirituality for Christians: following Vernon J. Bittner's Twelve Steps for Christian Living

by Stephen Joseph Wolf (Compiler)

Overview

Twelve Step Spirituality For Christians is a parish-tested introduction to a vibrant spirituality of honesty, perhaps the greatest American contribution to spirituality. It is designed for personal exploration or in groups of 5 to 15 people. The main goal of this little book is to expose 12 step spirituality to Christians who may not be familiar with it. Behind this is a conviction that our culture, leaning to addiction, is called to be a culture of life, vocation, and freedom. Some familiarity with these 12 steps will most certainly enrich the life and prayer of every woman and man on any faith journey. Stephen Joseph Wolf, the compiler, is a former parish priest and spiritual director. The six chapters are When I Am Weak, Let Go And Let God, Sick As Our Secrets, Progress Not Perfection, Let It Begin With Me, and One Day At A Time.
