An insightful, useful guide for both individuals and groups

Library Journal: "Schnarr's encouraging insights are illuminated by his own honest struggles with personal failure and addiction." Wisconsin Bookwatch: "Spiritual Recovery . . . charts a path to freedom from unconscious compulsions born of guilt, fear, anger,want and resentment. . . . Grant Schnarr uses lively, compelling anecdotes to show how to recognize and break free from addictive thoughts and behaviors."

A practical guide to growing spiritually

Grant Schnarr provides the reader with a slightly altered version of the 12 step program begun by Alcoholics Anonymous. The guide, while it demands the reader to be humbled and to really examine their greatest faults, is a wonderful support for anyone wishing to grow spiritually. It is difficult to admit one's less likable traits, but this guide helps the reader do this without making him or her feel horrible about themselves. Very helpful and definitely worth reading for anybody, not just those in recovery.
