Book excerpt: The Twelve Steps program of Alcoholics Anonymous has helped millions of us. Without it we would not have found our way. I for one am extremely grateful for this life saving gift. My concern for its continued life is the drifting from its foundation. The Twelve Step program has lost its fire. The fire lost is the spirit, the spirit of God. The spirit is still smoldering in the Twelve Step program, just waiting to be ignited again. I will introduce you to the founding fathers of AA; show how the program's foundation was originally based in Christianity and a relationship with Jesus; share my experience with the Twelve Steps developed by the founding fathers; and provide you with a method to apply the Twelve Steps as originally developed by the founding fathers to your life. Working the Twelve Steps as they were originally intended can change your life dramatically, break the addiction cycle and create a relationship with Jesus. The fire of the Holy Spirit will become part of your life. Gary Agnew has recaptured the original and true spirit of the Twelve Step Movement that was founded upon explicitly Christian principles; namely, that without Christ we can do nothing, but in Him we can do everything. A Higher Power of this Movement was originally the Holy Spirit of the Christ who lives within. Faith, hope, love and forgiveness are the essential principles of AA. Rev. William McCarthy, MSA An essential role of healing is turning our minds and hearts toward God. Gary Agnew captures the centrality of this wisdom in a remarkable way in his Twelve Step book. In recovery sometimes therapy is needed; sometimes medication, but ultimately the healing is between the person and God. The Twelve Steps are a way of life-a guide that everyone can use to live in freedom and peace. The Holy Spirit is the Guide within it who heals us. I am thrilled to have this book as a resource in the healing process. Mary Alice Rossini, NP Nurse Practitioner/Psychiatry

Download or read book The Power of Twelve Prayers written by Gary Agnew and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-03-23 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of Twelve Prayers is Gary's third book on the power of prayer as expressed in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. He delves into the history of seven spiritual organizations that preceded AA and takes a long look at AA's underlying philosophy, Jesus's Sermon on the Mount. He takes the reader through prayers that express the essence of each of the Twelve Steps, while embracing the Beatitudes, the blessings that start the Sermon on the Mount. As an AA historian who has developed a presentation that he shares with the AA community regarding the foundation and development of the fellowship, Gary is uniquely positioned to inspire others with often unrecognized deep inspiration that illuminates the Twelve Steps. Praise for The Power of Twelve Prayers "Gary has devoted an immense amount of time to learning about, filming, and circulating video materials on where AA comes from and got its ideas. And now he has put together an excellent video series of AA historical materials...accurately and well." - Richard Burns, AA Historical Author "Gary has always acknowledged his successes to the Holy Spirit. His humility and devotion inspire his words." - Paul Kominis, longtime AA member and fellowship mentor. "The Power of Twelve Prayers represents a communion of orthopraxis prayer and the practice of twelve-step spirituality--an orthopraxis--for transformational abiding in Him who says, 'Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing' (John 15:5)." - Rev. Philip Bjornberg, Trinity Episcopal Church, Portland CT
