The Church of Recovery
by Sam Detwiler and Steve Clapp
Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-step programs have changed the lives of tens of millions of people in North America. While some churches graciously open their facilities to these groups, many churches are not sure how to relate to them or to the spiritual needs that the groups address. This book looks at what the church at its best can do to help people grow in the spiritual life and heal from addiction and stress, whether people participate in 12-step groups or not.
The book also explores healthy ways that congregations can relate to 12-step groups and circumstances in which churches may choose to actively encourage such groups. This book can be a tremendous resource for churches wanting to find creative, practical ways to speak to the spiritual needs of members and for churches wanting to have more effective outreach to persons in need.
A study guide is incorporated into the book.
