5.0 out of 5 stars The Twelve Steps for Christians, January 7, 2002

My husband and I previously read this book and were very impressed. We are both in recovery and were avid believers in Jesus Christ. All of the traditional recovery books were vague in their spirituality, and we could relate and grow from this book. We currently use this book in our ministry, which is a recovery ministry in our church. We see many other people being blessed from it as well. I think people that have not had to deal with different addictions/bondages in their lives, could benefit from the steps/tools that are available in this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful tool in a life changing process., October 11, 1999

By 

Beverly K. Burke (Vienna,WV) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Twelve Steps for Christians (Paperback)

The Twelve Steps For Christians has given me so much insight into the scriptures and applying them to my everyday life. I have been practicing a recovery program for ten years and this book enhances and re-enforces the principles that I endeavor to apply to my life in a progressive manner. I have shared this knowledge with friends and we have used it as a study guide. This book is a powerful tool for those interested in growing spiritually and experiencing a life changing process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Build a Group on the 12 Steps for Christians, June 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Twelve Steps for Christians (Paperback)

My wife and I joined a 12-steps Sunday school group using this book about a year ago. We both have had to deal with alchoholism in our families, as well as a lot of other hurdles. The book and the class have been a very good way for us to finally work through these and many other issues. The book and the class have facilitated a great deal of healing for me.

Some of our class members are in recovery for alchohol or drugs, others have various issues, but all are welcome. Our class is taking it slowly, it takes about 3 weeks to work through each of the steps. The group adheres to the principles of confidentiality and annonymity, to the point that my wife and I don't discuss the class if one of us misses and the other attends. On the other hand, the class has become a source of spiritual and emotional strength for many of us.

I strongly recommend this book (and it's companion workbook) for anyone seeking to organize a Christian 12 step program, and/or to expand their church's adult ministry. Go with God's grace.
