Came to Believe

Ordered this book and received it within two days. I love Amazon!! Book is filled with inspiring stories of spiritual awakenings.

Last year when I was in a treatment center called Timberline Knolls, I was introduced to the 12 Steps and DBT principles. I've taken both with me back into the "real world" and have used them to stay on track with my recovery. One of the things I struggled with a lot was defining the difference between spirituality and religion. I was raised Catholic and knew I didn't want to be associated with that anymore. When searching for my Higher Power in the 12 Steps, I knew that for me that would be God, but I didn't know how to define that relationship without getting another man-made religion involved. I talked a lot at TK about the concept of spirituality with a sponsor and some of the other employees there and was happy to learn that spirituality doesn't necessarily mean that you don't believe in God, it's that you're leaving behind the regulations of a church and defining that relationship yourself. This book helped to expand on that for me and provided some deeper insight to it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is searching to find that relationship with their Higher Power, whether it's God or something else, because the presentation is clear and informative. It's very short and an easy read.

Item exactly as described. Very pleased with this transaction!

Will be used at future meetings for discussions.

Came to Believe is a very good book with a very good proposition, as it is for Alcoholics first and foremost, and from my experience the most successful, happiest, joy-iest and free-iest people I know have come to believe in a power greater than themselves--anything greater than themselves--will do the trick and this book tells some pretty amazing stories! So find a comfy spot, grab a cup of coffee or tea and clear your mind of any preconceptions or resentments of how GOD is gonna get you! and have an open mind and just see what has worked for others and who knows, this just might work for you too. And like I shared last night, if nothing else give the universe the good, the bad and the indifferent and stop trying to figure it all out by yourself, and just relax and see what can happen if you just let go and let a Group of Drunks tell their story--by the way for some of us G-Group o-of D-drunks was our first God we could rely on and trust. Have a nice day!

This book was highly recommended but it did not make it to me and there were no copies left. However they gave me a refund . I was sorry not to have received it, but I am sure it was because all the mail was really messed and and even cards not delivered on time. I just got a card postmaked Dec. 20. They did well by me.

I wanted the book to be longer. Beautiful writing submissions from A.A. people who have been doing “the work”. I would recommend this book

This is a great book for anyone new to recovery or just new to believing in a Higher Power. Have owned the book for 20 years but I lost it during a move. It's simple to understand written by real people who had no or little faith to start with but new they needed something bigger than themselves to believe in if they were going to stay clean and sober from any addiction.

Sometimes I find AA books a little harder to read and understand but this book is far from that. Easy read couldn't put it down. Fab!!!

This is used in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Good book for those looking for their HP

great thanks
