Tree of Renewed Life: Spiritual Renewal of the Church Through the Twelve-step ProgramMary Theresa Webb, Ph.D., 1992 - 167 páginas Although many churches act as sponsors of 12-Step meetings, there is usually little direct connection to the life and spiritual development of the church. This hope-filled book chronicles the history and development of the recovery movement and encourages those involved to move 12-Step meetings from the basement of the church to the sanctuary. |
