Summary: Steps of Transformation
Review: 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.).

Summary: Offering understanding, wisdom, and insight
Review: 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.
