Twelve Step Christianity

Titles under the Hazelden-Pittman Archives Press imprint focus on the history of Alcoholics Anonymous: its early years; biographies of its founders; the work of men and women who have made significant contributions to the fellowship; AA's spiritual underpinning, the Twelve Steps; and the continuing success of AA.Many Americans who embrace the Christian tradition struggle with an addiction of some kind. Many have likewise sought help with this struggle in the Twelve Steps. Comprehensive and approachable, Twelve Step Christianity builds a bridge between these two influential traditions whose spiritual teachings and values play an integral role in so many lives. In this comprehensive work, Saul Selby examines the concept of spirituality and how it applies to the Christian faith, explores the theological similarities between Christianity and the Twelve Step philosophy, compares and contrasts Christianity and Twelve Step programs, and explores the concept of conversion.
