The third book in the Road to Recovery series features a collection of personal stories from men and women who have accessed 12-Step recovery through a wide range of spiritual pathways. For people interested in gaining insights from people in recovery - and especially those who struggle with defining a higher power - this collection of short essays is a great introduction for both the recovering alcoholic/drug addict and family member. Each of the featured essays was originally published in Renascent's popular recovery ezine, TGIF, which continues to be shared weekly by email. Editor Dale H. notes in the introduction, "The 'God question' has often presented a challenge to newcomers to 12-step recovery. Program literature makes it clear that the road to a spiritual awakening is a broad one, yet this essential truth can somehow get lost in translation. This volume reflects the experience of our writers: that spirituality can be experienced in any number of different ways." In his foreword, Dr. Robert J. Ackerman shares, "You have a right to recovery. You have a right to achieve recovery anyway you can. There are numerous paths to recovery and there are numerous paths to spirituality. For many, spirituality is a major source and part of their recovery. You also have the right to define spirituality anyway you want." - From the Foreword by Dr. Robert J. Ackerman.
