Synopsis

Using a seven day/weekly guide format, a recovering person and a spiritual leader who is reaching out to addicted people reflect on the traditional weekly Bible reading. They bring strong spiritual support for daily living and recovery from addictions of all kinds: Alcohol, drugs, eating, gambling and sex. A profound sense of the religious spirit soars through their words and brings all people in Twelve Step recovery programs home to a rich and spiritually enlightening tradition.

From Library Journal

This collection of weeks 24-52 of a two-volume set of meditations on the Torah (Vol. 1: Genesis & Exodus , Jewish Lights Pub., 1992) is beautifully arranged. It consists of five days per week of brief (one-verse) text and two days of brief statements from other Jewish traditions (such as Nachman, the Talmud). Each day the text is supplemented by commentary; five days a week by Rabbi Olitzky and two days by Aaron Z., a recovering addict. These meditations amplify the prescribed weekly theme from the traditional cycle of Torah readings. This book provides genuine spiritual support for Jews in 12-step recovery programs. Highly recommended for Judaica collections.
