We are all addicted in some way. When we learn to identify our
addiction, embrace our brokenness, and surrender to God, we begin
to bring healing to ourselves and our world. In Breathing Under
Water, Richard Rohr shows how the gospel principles in the Twelve
Steps can free anyone from addiction - from an obvious dependence
on alcohol or drugs to the more common but less visible addiction
that we all have to sin. 'A must-read for any person who recognizes
the need to go "inward" on their soul's journey to question what
their relationship is with God, themselves, and others.' The Cord
'Rohr is a perfect writer on the subject of the 12 Steps. His
easy-to-read book is essentially a commentary on each of the steps,
with twelve chapters and a postscript that concisely tackles the
big religious questions of human suffering, suffering with which
addicts and their families are intimately acquainted. Jesus, Rohr
answers, is no stranger to suffering . . . This is a good book for
those in recovery from addiction and those who love them.
Publishers Weekly 'Richard Rohr continues to guide us to greater
wholeness . . . his books have helped countless souls, especially
those who struggle with issues of brokenness and seek
transformation.' National Catholic Reporter
