As an internationally respected teacher and lecturer on the Twelve Step method introduced by Alcoholics Anonymous, Joe McQ knows that sponsorship is a key construct for the success of the program because it involves moving a person through the Twelve Step process to recovery. In the early days of AA, sponsors would come to the alcoholic(tm)s home and talk him through Steps 1 and 2, and when they were thoroughly convinced he was ready, they would start him on the program. Step 12 is the foundation...
This book is excellent for anyone that sponsors, wants to sponsor or has any interest in learning more about working the steps. Another good book by same author is The Steps We Took.
This book teaches people in 12-step programs how to sponsor. He outlines the spiritual principles and the practices that support them. I'm not in a 12-step program, but I see the value in living a 12-step life and this book helps you do that.
What a wealth of great information that we all can use. Looking forward to reading another of his books. Thank you Joe and more importantly thank you God! Jeff B.
