Download or read book The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments written by Scott Weeman and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2018 Catholic Press Association Award: Sacraments. (Second Place). In the first book to directly integrate the Twelve Steps with the practice of Catholicism, Scott Weeman, founder and director of Catholic in Recovery, pairs his personal story with compassionate straight talk to show Catholics how to bridge the commonly felt gap between the Higher Power of twelve-step programs and the merciful God that he rediscovered in the heart of the sacraments. Weeman entered sobriety from alcohol and drugs on October 10, 2011, and he's made it his full-time ministry to help others who struggle with various types of addiction to find spiritual wholeness through Catholic in Recovery, an organization he founded and directs. In The Twelve Steps and the Sacraments, Weeman candidly tackles the struggle he and other addicts have with getting to know intimately the unnamed Higher Power of recovery. He shares stories of his compulsion to find a personal relationship with God and how his tentative steps back to the Catholic Church opened new doors of healing and brought him surprising joy as he came to know Christ in the sacraments. Catholics in recovery and those moving toward it, as well as the people who love them will recognize Weeman's story and his spiritual struggle to personally encounter God. He tells us how: Baptism helps you admit powerlessness over an unmanageable problem, face your desperate need for God, and choose to believe in and submit to God’s mercy. Reconciliation affirms and strengthens the hard work of examining your life, admitting wrongs, and making amends. The Eucharist provides ongoing sustenance and draws you to the healing power of Christ. The graces of Confirmation strengthen each person to keep moving forward and to share the good news of recovery and new life in Christ. Weeman's words are boldly challenging and brimming with compassion and through them you will discover inspiration, hope, sage advice, and refreshingly practical help.

Each year, hundreds of men and women cross the threshold of the Wolfe Street Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. Many of them attend the "Hour of Power," a weekly Sunday morning meeting focused on heightening one's spiritual awareness and growth by focusing on the Eleventh Step of Alcoholics Anonymous: "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out." This special book, designed for weekly study, offers a prayer, a meditation, and related insights from the discussions that emerged during the "Hour of Power." Sought Through Prayer and Meditation brings the insights of the collective consciousness of the Wolfe Street groups to recovering people everywhere.

Pastor Vlad leads you to Biblical truths in the Scriptures, and through many of his numerous experiences.

It is time – - to put an end to battles that were passed onto you by others - to learn to use and master the spiritual weapons you have at your disposal - to overcome dark spiritual wildernesses and to renew your mind so that you can see the transformation in your personal life. It is time to Fight Back!

Download or read book Prayers for Deliverance from Crack Cocaine and Alcohol Addiction written by Christian Willie J. Henderson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are numerous books written on prayer but this is the only one that focuses entirely on teaching the reader how to pray entirely for deliverance from crack cocaine, heroin, crystal meth, marijuana, alcohol and sexual sins that accompany drug addiction. The reason that our children, neighborhoods, and households are challenged with drug addiction and drug dealing is because society has wavered from “faithful and effectual fervent prayer” (Js.5:15-17) and now depend on doctors and professional counseling to restore and help the lost deal with the addictions and temptations that surrounds them. To make matters worse our jails and prisons are not overcrowded with addicts, drug dealers, murderers, thieves and robbers simply because of the crimes they commit, but mainly because those committing the crimes have not been educated, taught how to follow the example that Christ set for mankind in Luke 4:1-13 and pray for deliverance from their mindset, drugs and others challenges that cause them to sin against God's commandments. Yes, there are 13 step and other programs that suggest that struggling addicts refer to the name, “higher power”, but truth be told, “There's no other name except the name Jesus associated with the implement of prayer that will result in the deliverance and salvation of man!” (See Acts 16:18; 4:10,12). The Bible clearly tells us that “Christ defeated temptation, Satan by a means open to his humblest follower, THE INTELLIGENT USE OF THE WORD OF GOD”. (See Matt.4: 1, Scofield Study Bible footnotes).

Download or read book Daily Reflections written by A a and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of reflections by A.A. members for A.A. members. It was first published in 1990 to fulfill a long-felt need within the Fellowship for a collection of reflections that moves through the calendar year--one day at a time. Each page contains a reflection on a quotation from A.A. Conference-approved literature, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, As Bill Sees It and other books. These reflections were submitted by members of the A.A. Fellowship who were not professional writers, nor did they speak for A.A. but only for themselves, from their own experiences in sobriety. Thus the book offers sharing, day by day, from a broad cross section of members, which focuses on the Three Legacies of Alcoholics Anonymous: Recovery, Unity and Service. Daily Reflections has proved to be a popular book that aids individuals in their practice of daily meditation and provides inspiration to group discussions even as it presents an introduction for some to A.A. literature as a whole.
