PRAYER & MEDITATION Expect a miracle. Early on in Alcoholics Anonymous, the members had a far greater rate of sobriety than now. Can the miracle of recovery still happen? In this book, Santa C. takes us back to the roots of the Twelve Steps. In early Twelve Step Groups, members were taught about prayer and meditation, and how to seek God's Will in their life. So often today in meetings of AA around the world, newcomers are overwhelmed with war stories and problems, and oftentimes do not hear about the solution. Then along came treatment centers for various addictions, and people being counseled that a Higher Power could be a door knob or anything they wanted it to be. I first heard about this in the treatment center I went to in 1984, and as a chemical dependency counselor since 1989, not much has changed. I truly wish every counselor picked this book up before messing up another person's life with such nonsense. I remember myself being a new member in AA, and being told to read only ?conference approved? literature and books, but wondered what books the early pioneers in AA read. In this book, you will find this out! Whether you are a newcomer or an old-timer in a Twelve Step Program, this book will teach you how to surrender, pray, meditate, but most importantly, it will strengthen your spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ. And yes, as author Santa C. points out in this book, the miracle still happens. K. Todd Wagner, LICSW, CDP Clinical Director Blue Mountain Counseling, Dayton, Washington

About the Author SantaC - As of the writing of this publication, "SantaC" is 35 years sober. In the last 10 years he has taken hundreds of individuals through the Big Book and Steps. To the best of his knowledge he has had no failures because he pre-qualified the people he worked with and they in turn did the same with those newcomers they worked with. There is no destination in recovery but a life long journey. Santa went through a Navy ARU in 1976 and has been carrying the message of recovery from that time. He was told that if you do the work you will get the results. Every year "SantaC" travels to Vietnam & The Philippines to help children that otherwise would not receive any assistance. This book and other publications help support that effort. God will always bless you if you continue to do His Works and He has blessed Santa many times over. Thank You & Enjoy the Journey! SantaC
