A New Way In: Reaching the Heart of a Child of God in Recovery with His Own, Powerful, Historical Roots

This book provides a simple answer - It is the answer to those in recovery fellowships who wonder what they may and should mention in front of a new member about Almighty God. The simple answer suggested here is: Tell the truth. Pioneer AAs built their house on a rock: the truth in the Good Book; they invented nothing new. They quit drinking and resisted temptation; relied on God; abandoned evil behavior; grew in fellowship with the Father; and reached out in love and service to others still suffering. In Akron and Cleveland, these early AAs attained a documented 75% to 93% success rate among seemingly-hopeless, medically-incurable alcoholics who really tried in moving along their path to establishing a relationship with the Creator. They followed simple principles from the Salvation Army, Christian Endeavor, rescue missions, Oxford Group, and YMCA leaders who charted the course. This book will persuade you that, if you show the child of God these truths today, he'll stick with A.A. and the Steps, ignore idol worship and religious criticism, and bring the truth about the Creator's healings, liberty, forgiveness, and love to the front-line struggles for sobriety and cure in an increasingly doubtful, fear-filled, secularized, unbelieving world. Each ambassador can reach the newcomer and flustered old-timer with truth. With God, nothing is impossible. That certainly includes telling the truth about Him and what He can do for the alcoholic who still suffers.
