Willpower is not enough.You need more, and that more is a Higher Power.

Every recovering alcoholic or addict--regardless of length ofsobriety--will reach a time when the only thing that stands between himor her and picking up a drink or drug will be a personal relationshipwith a Higher Power.This book is an invitation to explore and nurture that relationship.

Reconnecting with the Christian roots of Alcoholics Anonymous, Higher Power combines classic biblical teaching, spiritual formation, and contemporary 12-Step practice. Higher Power is an excellent resource for anyone in recovery seeking to develop a personal relationship with a loving and merciful God.
