Prayer & Meditation - a Practical Guide to the Life Promised in Step 11

by Tom R.

This volume is perhaps the most comprehensive work on prayer and meditation to date written exclusively for 12-step people who want more from their recovery than simply not drinking. It should be read and practiced by people everywhere and of every type - not just 12-step devotees.

Reviews

[Gail Sheehan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Step 11, as revealed in the subject matter in the chapters of this book, was a life transforming experience. From my perspective, recovery literature has few examples or guides on this pivotal step. Until now. I would highly recommend this book and the experience you will hopefully receive will be transformational. --Glenn T.

Sound Spiritual resource. A practical guide to meditation in AA

I cherish the Spiritual energy that emanates from Tom R.
I met Tom when he presented a P&M workshop in Houston, Tx in March, 2017.
He shares the joy of practicing the Spiritual discipline of meditation. He loves the Lord!

This book seems to be the only clear book consistent with AA/12-step history and literature. Very practical, helpful, easy to read.
