 How
to Listen to God
Overcoming Addiction Through Practice of Two-Way Prayer
In this book, the author describes his past four years traveling with James Houck, the 98 year old member of the Oxford Group who is the last living link to the spiritual roots of the Twelve Step Programs.
In addition, the middle seven chapters describes how Bill W., Dr. Bob, and the Twelve-Step pioneers took the Steps before the "Big Book" was written.
The How to Listen to God program (the middle seven chapters)is ideal for church groups, prayer circles, and "anyone or everyone interested in a spiritual way of life." It is a
 plan-of-action that provides step-by-step guidelines on how to develop, enrich and enhance two-way prayer.
Quiet Time and Guidance
