Building a Lasting Practice of Prayer and Meditation: Living the 11th Step

Description: Recoveringalcoholics once sober often ask, “What now?” In other words, they seeksomething more than sobriety. Others, in recovery, have tackled prayer andmeditation, the 11th Step, in different ways and end up with an on-again/off-again-practicethat is unsatisfying. In Building a Lasting Practice of Prayer and Meditation, GeoffColvin draws on his own experiences, studies of spiritual and addictiveliterature, participation in retreats, and meditation groups (including 11thStep Group Meetings) to offer recovering alcoholics practical ways to not onlyto maintain sobriety, but also to grow spiritually, and to enrich the qualityof their lives. The purpose of this book is to explore more fully how the 11th Step can bringto life and put into action these beginning Steps 1, 2, and 3. Specifically,the focus is how to grow our connection with our higher power and, mostimportantly, learn ways to follow the will of our higher power leading tocontinued sobriety and a richer spiritual life. The 11th Step has at least three main messages:· Through prayer and meditation, we try to improve ourconnection with our Higher Power.· Our understanding of our Higher Power varies from member tomember and can change over time.The intent of prayerand meditation is to not only hear the will of one’s higher power, but alsoreceive the grace to carry it out during the day. To address these core messages from the 11th Step, this book is divided intotwo sections. Each section is composed of chapters that explore what it meansto develop a prayer and meditation practice that leads to living the 11th Stepmore fully throughout our day.
