Twelve Steps to Spiritual Wholeness
A Christian Pathway
by Philip St. Romain
The Twelve Steps have been called the most significant spiritual movement in the past century. They have helped thousands overcome addictions in groups from Al-Anon to Codependents Anonymous.
Philip St. Romain was one of the first to apply the Twelve Steps to a Christian spirituality in Becoming a New Person (Liguori Publications, 1984). His increased understanding of the Twelve Steps since then prompted him to write a yearlong series of articles for Liguorian magazine (1991). In answer to hundreds of letters, those articles were compiled into Twelve Steps to Spiritual Wholeness, two appendixes, and a suggested reading list.
This book presents the Twelve Steps as a way to grow, to move toward a “spiritual awakening, an awareness of our true self in God.” Every page bears gentle reassurance that fulfillment of the Twelve Steps inspires a cleansing sense of wholeness -- a renewed spirit that helps readers “break free from negative and sinful influences in their lives.”
Twelve Steps to Spiritual Wholeness will be a faithful and valuable companion on the challenging journey of the Twelve Steps.
