Great Book

This is the best book I've ever read about the twelve steps and what makes the spirituality of AA and other 12 step programs so compelling. The authors show how the distillation of many different spiritual traditions converge to provide a basis for a journey to wholeness.


Simply the best book on Spirituality I have read to date!

I love this book. Great stories. Wonderful insight into humanness. The imperfection of being human. A wonderful book for a recovering people, or for that matter, anyone else.

Real Spirituality Begins With Acknowledging Our Imperfection

Kurtz and Ketcham have written a classic that illustrates well how acknowledging, facing, and honoring our imperfection is essential for spiritual growth. Their stories and explanations warm the heart, and so briing to life the the Twelve Step approach to spirituality.

They do such a good job, that I have quoted them extensively in my own book:

Light in the Darkness;

A Guide to Recovery;

A Physician Talks Openly About His Own Addiction to Sex

Healing Thoughts for Recovering Fundamentalists

This book was suggested while I was in an alcohol rehabilitation center when other more traditionally Christian literature didn't seem to fit my needs. This wonderful volume includes and incorporates the spirituality proposed in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous with the spirituality propounded at least in part in all of the major religions. It presents a fairly coherent arguement that Bill W. was no less a prophet than those more widely accepted who came before. The universality of the fundamental truths described through hundreds of anecdotes and quotes from a host of sources has legitimized and given voice to 'what seems like' my own concept of spirituality. The volume is easily read cover to cover, or piecemeal as a vehicle for contemplation and meditation. I highly recommend this for those struggling with conflicted experiences in organized religion or church, or who feel the futility and emptiness of atheism. It could also be of interest to those with obsessive compulsive character traits or perfectionistic tendencies. My concept of God or a Higher Power is the bedrock of my recovery program and this book has given me great comfort and insight.

My most favorite recovery book

This was the most powerful book I read during my early work on shame and my most rigorous months of recovery through Al-Anon. By the end of this book, I felt ready and willing to let my guard down and enter the human race.
