New Book Release: Breathing Under Water
Spend time with Fr. Richard Rohr as he unpacks the themes of his newest book, Breathing Underwater Spirituality and The Twelve Steps.
In Breathing Under Water: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps, Fr. Richard describes how the Twelve Steps of the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program is America’s most significant and authentic contribution to the history of spirituality.
In this exploration, Fr. Richard draws parallels between Christian principles and AA’s Twelve Steps, connecting AA’s Big Book with the Gospel. This material draws on talks he has given for over twenty years to people in recovery and those close to them, as well as those who counsel people recovering from or living with an addiction. It is a practical guide to incorporating liturgy and contemplative prayer with the accountability of the 12Steps Model, in a useful format to suit either a home study group or an individual who’d like a way to deepen their own recovery journey.
Fr. Richard offers encouragement and inspiration to survive the tidal wave of compulsive behavior and addiction by learning to “breathe under water.”
