Breathing Under Water: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps:
(Book)
(Book)
by Richard Rohr
The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous is America's 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 God
s 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 one s life manageable for dealing with the codependence and
dysfunction (sin) rampant in our society.
