5.0 out of 5 stars What this book has meant to me, December 13, 1999

By 

Russ W (Silicon Valley, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In God's Care: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery (Hazelden Meditation Series) (Paperback)

I read this book every day, and plan to read it every day for the rest of my life. The book contains an insightful quote and a spiritual message for each day of the year. Whether you have a traditional belief in God or a vague understanding of some Higer Power this book will help you focus on the things that make life worthwhile. Each day you are reminded of the things which help to foster peace, love, and understanding and also of those things which will distract us from our goals. I came here to buy this book for all the people I care about, in and out of recovery because I think that it is such a valuable way of staying in touch with the things that are really important.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Daily Meditation Book I've Found, November 16, 2005

This review is from: In God's Care: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery (Hazelden Meditation Series) (Paperback)

In recovery many of us have moved from the "24 Hour a Day Book" to "Daily Meditations" and then perhaps to "A Day at a Time". In my 21 years recovery I've probably had close to a dozen different meditation books. All have had some key points and keep one moving along spiritually.

This book I've used for at least the last six years and it stays fresh and seems to grow as I do. The quotations on each daily meditation are excellent. The further meditation is well planned and cohesive. The theme of recovery is clear but without a specific addiction. For one who truly believes "the point is we are willing to grow along spiritual lines", this might be the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect companion to the Big Book!, December 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: In God's Care: Daily Meditations on Spirituality in Recovery (Hazelden Meditation Series) (Paperback)

This book, along with the Big Book and 12x12, has helped me stay focussed on what's most important in my life . . . God, my sobriety and my family. With quotes from wise people of all times, it has helped crystalize all the wonderful things God and AA have given to me. Most importantly, it helps remind me how important it is to remain grateful for this new life I've been given. It lifts the soul almost every morning I read it. Buy it! For you and for those you care about in and outside your program.
