Spirituality and The Twelve Steps for Everyone: Looking closely at Richard Rohr’s book, Breathing Under Water

Presented by: Ron Alexander

From the book’s back jacket: “We are all addicted in some way. When we learn to identify our addiction, embrace our brokenness, and surrender to God, we begin to bring healing to ourselves and our world. In Breathing Under Water, Richard Rohr shows how the gospel principles in the Twelve Steps can free anyone from any addiction—from an obvious dependence on alcohol or drugs to the more common but less visible addiction that we all have to sin.”

From Faith, Hope and Love to Courage and Humility and much in between, Ron will guide us through Richard’s book, which shows how the Twelve Steps offer a spirituality that can help us face our dependencies head-on and in doing so find fulfillment and true joy!
