What a WONDERFUL resource!,
By An Avid Reader (Nowhere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prayer Steps to Serenity: The Twelve Step Journey (Paperback)
This book is a truly wonderful resource for anybody in recovery! I purchased Prayer Steps to Serenity a few weeks ago, and intend to buy another copy soon so that I have a copy to loan to friends and acquaintances.
This book is so much more than a daily devotional! Each week ends with a series of questions to ponder, and the back of the book includes information on forming and leading a Serenity Group. Included is also a "Group Journey Guide" as well as a "Personal Journey Guide." The author has truly gone above and beyond with this book. He seems truly committed to helping people in their recovery journeys as is evidenced by this book, and all of the free resources he has on his website. (www.prayersteps.org) He has also been working with alcoholics completing their 5th steps for almost 30 years, according to the back cover. I wholeheartedly encourage anybody in recovery to purchase this book. It will not disappoint! You may even consider creating your own Serenity Group, as the author has suggested. I certainly hope to do so at some point.

This book saved my life and my family,
This review is from: Prayer Steps to Serenity: The Twelve Step Journey (Paperback)
The first edition helped me find serenity and sobriety in a way only God could have directed. I was on the brink of destruction and this book helped me find my way back. The influence was overwhelming. I have also read the recent, expanded edition and use it to help maintain my serenity and sobriety.
"Prayer Steps" is so powerful, it helped me tie my belief in God and Christianity to the Twelve Steps in a way that changed my life. Using this Twelve Step Journey along with my Faith, I have managed to return to sanity and keep my family and friends.

A Multipurpose Book,
By In Recovery (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prayer Steps to Serenity: The Twelve Step Journey (Paperback)
This book is filled with helpful information and study guides for anyone with any addiction, problem, or weakness, and for those who are trying to help anyone in any recovery program. Short daily readings for each of the Twelve Steps for a 12 week study, and daily inspirational prayers that move you to keep on praying are at the heart of what is presented here. Weekly review questions can help you get the most out of each step, and there is lots of room to write your thoughts in the book. A guide for support groups or serenity groups is included, with group questions. A website supports the book with lots of free resources at PrayerSteps.org. My wife and I both read the book and found it help us, but for different reasons. We plan to use it as a couples study this summer. The author did a great job when he expanded and revised this book!
