The Spirituality of Imperfection

The beauty of this book is that it describes our common pilgrimage. Told in the context of the power of Alcoholics Anonymous to change lives, it reveals the truth that each of us is broken whether we are in A.A. or not. Each of us is powerless to change on our own. But through the power of storytelling and storylistening, we can accept our brokeness, and make room for a new person with a new map for their life. And it is through this brokeness that sprirituality comes into our lives. "Spirituality enters through the cracks in the heart." When we finally realize this, spirituality changes us. Indeed, it is the only thing that really does.
