An inspiring story of recovery based on the lives of two unforgettable Jesuits who found their life's work in Alcoholics Anonymous. + This description may be from another edition of this product.
I have been in recovery for many years, and have always thought that sober alcoholics (and drug addicts) have much to offer. This book, "Anonymous Disciple," is a triumph of the human spirit. There is hope for even those who are near death with their disease (addiction). The book renews my faith in God and in humanity.
Life Changing

My daughter gave Anonymous Disciple to me as a gift on my 12th sober birthday. Never in my life have I read a book that has had such a tremendous personal impact. This is much more than a book on recovery; it's a journey of one man's life, which was willing to be used for the benefit of others. This book will definitely create personal introspection, and cause the reader to think, "What is my commission, and how can I be used to help others?"
Anonymous Disciple is a special book

This was really a beautiful book about a Jesuit priest (Father Jim) getting sober. I think anyone in recovery, regardless of their religious beliefs, would be touched by it. I had so much gratitude after reading it!

If you think this book is for people who have a problem with alcohol you are mistaken. A friend recommended the book and when I didn't read it she sent it to me. I could not put the book down;it's one of those 3AM books. It definitely brings understanding to your heart of the tragedy of any addiction but it is so much more. I suggest everyone read it looking for themselves.
