This is my third book that I have bought. I enjoyed it so much that I have given them all away. This last one I bought seemed to have a little bit smaller font and I did not like that. Older eyes need print that is larger or bolder for reading ease in lower lighting. Having the Bible coincide with the 12 Steps is exactly what can put you over for understanding and making some steps more clear. I appreciate that the words of Jesus are in red and I also like having the Psalms and Proverbs included with the NT. Wonderful addition to the book shelf. I am going to get another one to have and probably give away again. This time I will look for an older version that has the little bigger print. Dr Hemfelt has written other good literature along recovery lines.

This review is from: Serenity: A Companion for Twelve Step Recovery (Paperback)

Besides the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, this neat little book also contains the New King James Version of the New Testament, including Psalms and Proverbs. The purpose of this compact paperback is to combine the spiritual teachings of The 12 Steps of A.A.'s Big Book, with the religious texts of Jesus, the disciples, and Paul. New Testament verses appropriate to each Step are highlighted for easy cross reference to show how they intertwine.
However, in some instances, I found the cross referenced verses difficult to associate with the corresponding Step.
This does not take away from the meticulous way the authors have put together their comparisons.
I would recommend this book to anyone who still has difficulty in seeing the differences between religion and spirituality, and who wish to live a life according to God's Will.
