Overview

Warm, sensitive, and engaging, Vernon J. Bittner’s book challenges and encourages readers to seek God more fully, and find healing and peace in his strength. In this revised edition, Bittner draws not only from his own experiences of coping with depression and destructive behaviors, but also from his work as a psychotherapist and chaplain. He reinterprets the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in the light of the Christian faith and applies them to daily living, leading readers to examine their lives and ask questions like: How can we play active roles in regaining and maintaining our spiritual, mental, and physical health? How can we strengthen our spiritual lives when we feel weighed down by many limitations? How are our emotions related to our recovery? Bitter suggests that only when we honestly look at our limitations—and deal with them with God’s strength—can we begin to heal.
