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

Be still. For some, these two simple words a welcome invitation to
slow down. For others, they feel impossible, out of reach in our
increasingly noisy world, or simply just too hard to maintain.
There is another way. In fact, there are many. In this practical,
easy-to-read guide, Brian Heasley explores the multitude of rhythms
of Christian prayer and devotion available to every believer. From
memorising scripture and prayer running to noticing beauty
everywhere, he demonstrates how we don't need to be static for our
hearts to be still, and how even in the midst of a full, busy life,
we can spend quiet time with God. Be Still is a prayer book for
anyone looking for ways to revitalise the way they pray or who is
struggling to make space for devotional time with God. Packed full
of ideas for different ways to pray and tips and advice for how to
build prayer practices into everyday life, Brian's book will change
the way you think about prayer and devotion and equip you with all
the tools you need to deepen your relationship with God. You can
use the book individually or in small groups, or read it alongside
24-7 Prayer's new Be Still prayer course. It also makes a great
resource for youth leaders looking to help teenagers cultivate
daily rhythms of prayer and spend more quiet time with God, or as a
gift for people starting out on their faith journey or those
returning to faith after a while. Join Brian Heasley, and discover
the different ways in which we can all Be Still.
Why Jesus? is a concise and easy-to-read study of the very real questions surrounding Jesus that your guests might be thinking about when first attending your church or Alpha:
- Who is Jesus?
- Why do we need Him?
- Why did He have to die?
- Why is He relevant to my life today?
These booklets are an effective evangelistic tool to pass out to guests at your services or at Alpha, sharing the Gospel in a warm and relevant way. Alpha is based on a pattern found in the New Testament of people bringing their friends, family, and work colleagues to meet Jesus. Alpha is an easy way to say to friends, "Come and see, come and explore your questions, come and hear about Jesus, come and see for yourself." Everyone is welcome at Alpha, but the program is designed especially for people who would not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers.
