A New Thought Journey through the 12 Steps

Book Cover & Preview Text
I realize I am going to encounter some controversy by daring to interpret….rewrite if you will…the 12 steps. We interpret everything else in New Thought, why not this? And, from my personal experience, I have discovered that translating the original 12 steps into more modern language is a more inclusive way to go about things. The original language quite frankly turns many away. I’d like to see the power and beauty and joy that results from taking the 12 steps, in all people who wish it.
