This inspiring daily devotional strenthens and encourages the reader. The author provides practical insights into scripture and makes the Bible come alive for living in today's world.

Also included are prayers for recovery and a handy Index of Steps and Slogans. Letting God is a "must have" for anyone who is recovering from addictions of drugs, alcohol, gambling, porn, sexual addictions etc.

About the best aide to 12th step growth I've used so far. Not "heavy-handed" and not "religious>" Only gentle leadings... as those of a Shepherd or a Loving God as He manifests Himself here too. Quiet, gentle musings - great for 11th Step work. I recommend it heartily!

"Letting God" is an excellent twelve step,daily meditation book. The author, A. Philip Parham, is an Episcopal priest. He has intentionally returned to the twelve steps' original roots, which are in the Christian gospel, so the devotional meditations are unreservedly Christian in nature. (Since I am a Baptist pastor I found this welcome and spiritually refreshing.) Each devotional takes only a couple of minutes to read, and most of them include a very interesting story to illustrate one of the twelve steps.

This is an excellent book for daily reading. It's spiritually uplifting and an encouragement for addiction recovery. It gives moral lessons and does it without a preaching attitude. It's written from the heart and I recommend it for any one that is seeking a more spiritual life.

Although written for recovering persons, this book should be used by everyone as a daily guide for living life to its fullest. The wisdom imparted by the author is life enhancing. If everyone used this book daily and tried to live by the its writings the world would be a much better place in which to live. A serious study, humorous at times, it is very well written and a pleasure to read.

This is a wonderful meditation book for recovering Christian alcoholics/addicts in 12-step programs. It gives a person a helpful connection between the Program and the Bible and church. It is a powerful tool for use on the road to recovery.

I have been reading "Letting God" for 5 years as a daily meditation reader and it is as fresh today as it was 5 years ago. It has memorable short tales that stick to your life and will give you a great outlook on life. One daily reader that you shouldn't be without.

Several years ago, I began the practice of reading and reflecting every morning, using "day" books. This is one of the best books I have used. The New Testament of the Bible is one of the two greatest books on recovery ever written (the Big Book is the other), so the Bible verse and related reflection by the author are a perfect combination, and it works well with the "24 Hour Book" and "Daily Reflections", and probably any other daily reflection book you care to use. Pick it up!

This is a great book for daily reflection. A nice mix of Christianity and recovery. Very well though out readings.

makes a great gift for any 12 stepper good way to start the day even for normies
