Steps of Transformation: An Orthodox Priest Explores the Twelve Steps review:1 stars (Well meaning but mis-guided) - Hi
As a former twelve stepper i know that most 12 step programs especially AA denigrate organized religion......the 12 steps look on the surface to be totally christian but if you study AA's hallowed "Big Book" you'll find many statements that are totally incompatible with orthodoxy...." the spiritual path is broad and never exclusive." which is in direct opposistion to Jesus's statement that the path is narrow and broad is the path that leads to destruction.......When taking a forth step inventory when you get to your sexual inventory it just says to look where you have been selfish..forget adultary...its not mentioned.......bill wilson claimed extreme drunkeness kept him from cheating on his wife but after sobering up he had several misstresses..........they had a group of AA people that their whole job was watching him so he didn't embaress AA.....
He Experimented with LSD thinking it was the answer for people who couldn't get the program......
While writing the 12 steps he claimed he got inspiration directly fom a 15th century monk named Boniface.....
Dr. Bob the co founder and his wife Anne had regular sceances in their home........i won't post my email here because AA people are fanatic about the cult.....there is a book called Not God .i forget the author but it was taken from AA's archives plus if someone will put there email on a post i can send online documentation about every thing i say.....
aa's vuanted success rate is actually about 6% for one year of sobriety and 1% for five years..not an overwelming success...
the suicide rate is very high..due mostly being controlled by sponsers that basically browbeat sponsees..i was on the verge of suicide when i left the cult...i had quit the church after being brainwashed that the doctrines of all churches are man made...I have discovered real spirituality not the AA brand..
just watch tv..12 step programs are mentioned constantly as real pop culture now......the success for movie stars is absolutely a reflection of the program itself......Abysmal.
in closing heres a line from the big book....."everything that happens , happens because that's the way it's supposed to be..Nothing in God's world happens by accident"...a total denial of free will.......dont tell me children are abused and people murdered and it's supposed to be that way.
Tom5 stars (Offering understanding, wisdom, and insight) - Written by Father Meletios Webber (an Orthodox priest with a doctorate in counseling, and currently the Pastor of Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church, Santa, Cruz, California), Steps Of Transformation: An Orthodox Priest Explores The Twelve Steps correlates the twelve steps used by Alcoholics Anonymous with basic Orthodox Christian theology. Offering understanding, wisdom, and insight to all who turn to God when weighed down by implacable addiction, Steps Of Transformation is a sober, spiritual, and open-hearted work of benevolence which is especially recommended reading for Christians involved in 12-Step programs for substance abuse, compulsive gambling, anger management, or any other behavioral or psychological disabilities.5 stars (Steps of Transformation) - I can't express my gratitude to Father Meletios Webber for writing this exceptional book. For many years I suffered from compulsive behaviors. It wasn't until I read "Steps of Transformation" that I realized that there were many people just like me who had found recovery through the Twelve Steps Program. This spiritual gem will restore one's sanity by following a simple, yet highly effective, program toward recovery. If you aren't suffering from a compulsive disorder, this book will guide you through the Steps of Transformation in which you'll discover yourself closer to the God of your understanding, closer than you could ever imagine. I have attended churches since my childhood, and have always considered myself a very religious person. But, that is where the difference lies: spiritual vs. religious. I am discovering the spiritual apsect to my religion. It has always been there, of course. But, I have been too wrapped up with theology and the like. Father Meletios' book helped me to discover the spiritual aspect of my religion. What a gift! Thank you Father Mel!I recommend this book highly to any Christians that would like to deepen their understanding of their religion; and/or may be seeking help from any kind of compulsive behavior (i.e. alcoholism, compulsive overeating, compulsive gambling, etc.).
