" . . . the members had found something far superior to the miserable restlessness and agony of 'being on the wagon'. I wanted what they had, for I knew that for me to maintain continuous sobriety I must find a contented sobriety."

FEATURED LITERATURE: Prayer & Meditation: AA members share the many ways they connect spiritually features powerful stories by members of Alcoholics Anonymous about the many ways they pray and meditate in their daily lives. The stories in this book show how members begin to pray and meditate and then branch out to develop very personal, and often creative, ways to practice. Chapters include: daily routines, traditional religious practices, activities and exercise, personal techniques, the Serenity Prayer, and connecting with nature and the universe. All stories were previously published in Grapevine, the International Journal of AA. Great for people in recovery or those who want to explore prayer and meditation.
