Description:

It is commonly understood within the medical community today that alcohol and drug addiction is an involuntary disability, which, if left untreated, can be terminal. The new Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC) recovery program for those seeking membership in The Salvation Army acknowledges the chronic nature of the disease, incorporating the disciplines of the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) 12-step program into its official text. In so doing, the "Called to Be God's Own" program, using the manual by the same name, recaptures the original vision of The Salvation Army founder William Booth. "Major Doss superimposes the AA 12-step program with The Salvation Army's doctrines to create a synthesis that can help address the disconnect between the ARC alumni and adherents with the corps," said Major John Greholver, Sacramento ARC administrator. "His use of Scripture, personal stories, 'questions to think about,' and wisdom from Salvation Army leaders combine to create a potential blueprint for effectively bringing the recovery model into the local corps and into other levels of Salvation Army service. In this sense, the book captures the original vision of William Booth in creating a movement driven by saints in recovery from sin, sharing their witness of a Christ who can do all things."
