Liked this book

As a recovering alcoholic with over 15 years of sobriety, I found myself "stuck" in my recovery program. I started exploring going back to church, and found this book along the way. It helped change my perspective on God, that God loves me and isn't the man in the sky shaking his finger at me, pointing out all the bad things I've done. The book helped me see that we are all hurting, with hang ups and hurts and stuck areas, whether or not we are in a formal recovery program (such as a 12 step program), and helped me to see that I needed to bring my relationship with the God of my understanding to a deeper level. I wasn't getting all that I needed in my recovery program, and through this book (and other Christian recovery materials based on the 12 steps) I'm coming to a deeper level of surrender. The book talks much about taking personal responsibility and gives scriptural suggestions and references as to how to change my life. Let me just say that I was NOT a Christian until a few months ago, and I'm not here to preach or convert anyone, but I simply want to let people know that if you keep an open mind, and give yourself a break, you might discover something new that works. "Contempt prior to investigation" kept me stuck, and I'm beginning to find some answers. This book has some very good insights to help people get "unstuck."
