Breathing Under Water: Spirituality and Twelve Steps
Rohr, Richard O.F.M.
Books > Self Help > Self Help General
The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous is Americas most significant and authentic contribution to the history of spirituality, says Richard Rohr. He makes a case that the Twelve Steps relate well to Christian teaching and can rescue people who are drowning in addiction and may not even realize it. To survive the tidal wave of compulsive behavior and addiction, Christians must learn to breathe under water and discover Gods love and compassion. In this exploration of Twelve Step spirituality, Rohr identifies the Christian principles in the Twelve Steps, connecting The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous with the gospel. He draws on talks he has given for over twenty years to people in recovery and those who counsel and live with people with addictive behavior. Rohr offers encouragement for becoming interiorly alive and inspiration for making ones life manageable for dealing with the codependence and dysfunction (sin) rampant in our society.

Caring Reflections: Grief Therapy
Katafiasz, Karen
Books > Self Help > Self Help General
Few events can affect your life as powerfully as the death of a loved one. Yet many people are uneasy speaking about death and dealing with the emotions that accompany it. The conventional wisdom tells survivors to "Keep busy; don't dwell on your loss; just snap out of it." But the conventional wisdom is wrong. All the feelings that overwhelm you when a loved one dies deserve your attention. Grieving is painful and demanding. But healing-profound, transforming healing-does come. Grief Therapy offers that promise and points the way.
