Summary:

Prayers for the Twelve Steps is a prayer book written from a Christian perspective.  The authors encourage the reader to abandon the idea of “wish list” prayer and seek to communicate with God honestly and meaningfully.  The book has prayers for each of the 12 steps and follows with a chapter on each of the following kinds of prayer:

·    petition,

·    declaration,

·    complaint,

·    meditation,

·    submission,

·    penitence,

·    imprecation,

·    intercession,

·    thanksgiving, and

·    praise.

Each type of prayer is explained before examples of these prayers are given.  Each prayer ends with a Bible verse.

Why does FASTEN recommend this resource?

This book would be a helpful guide for any Christian going through a 12-Step program.  It enables the reader to get out of the typical mindset of “wish list” prayer into a much more fulfilling and meaningful communication with God.
