Two book bundle! Essential Twelve Step Recovery Guides from renown author, Patrick Carnes, Ph.D. It was out of his reverence and respect for the wisdom and therapeutic value of the Twelve Steps that author Patrick Carnes wrote A Gentle Path through the Twelve Steps, now a recovery classic and self-help staple for anyone looking for guidance for life's hardest challenges. Hundreds of thousands of people have found in this book a personal portal to the wisdom of the Twelve Steps. With updated and expanded concepts and a focus on the spiritual principles that lead to lifelong growth and fulfillment, Carnes' new edition invites a fresh generation of readers to the healing and rewarding experience of Twelve Step recovery. A Gentle Path through the Twelve Principles outlines twelve guiding principles to help those in recovery. These principles have existed among fellowships as a hidden curriculum of fundamental truths about recovery for decade, but never before have them been distilled into a succinct set of values that, when practiced, help each of us to develop an essential skill set for life. The principles--such universal touchstones for human self-realization as acceptance, awareness, responsibility, openness, and honesty--are concepts that enable a deep inner study and focus to make a new life happen in recovery.

Take a fresh look at the familiar concept: "I'm OK, You're OK." Develop the Five Healthy Core Beliefs that underpin a sense of self-worth. Discover a basic daily practice of self-care and self-support. Go beyond Self-esteem to the wider perspective of Human Esteem, and enter the gentle path to becoming Peacemaker in your inner world and in the world around you. In this book, pastor, psychotherapist and pioneering social activist Denton L Roberts presents a set of simple yet profound ideas, and practical exercises, taking just a few minutes each day, that can lay a foundation of calm inner confidence in the face of life's challenges. Roberts anatomizes the idea of OKness into the five Healthy Core Beliefs, gleaned from his therapy practice and in his ministry, that "You and I and all human beings are in our nature Capable, Powerful, Valuable, Lovable and Equal." For some of us it can be harder to admit to these qualities in ourselves than to attribute them to others. "Am I on my side, or on my case?" This key self-confrontation, can revolutionize your perspective and your experience. Along with an accessible explanation, full of wisdom, humor and anecdotes from both aspects of his professional, as well as his personal life, Denton Roberts provides a Workbook section, with a sequence of brief daily practices, that can help you fully to feel your way into the truth that you are indeed Capable, Powerful, Valuable, Lovable and Equal to any other human being. For personal use, as a guide for those who help others, in personal and professional relationships, and in the wider divisions in our communities this is a book of immediate practical relevance and lasting value. "Able & Equal provides us a simple, practical handbook for life. It invites each of us to join a precious adventure - towards human esteem, love, constructive living in peace. It engages us personally... and provides a path worth committing to and following - the path to life and peace - beginning, always, with ourselves and now." - Assemblyman John Vasconcellos, Legislator, Self-Esteem Task Force "Our problems are exacerbated by the fact that the world has become one before it has become whole. The contribution of Able and Equal to correcting that dilemma by extrapolating from the condition of the of individual wholeness to the universal, is significant and timely." - Norman Cousins When originally published in the late 1980, Able and Equal was ahead of its time in foreshadowing Mindfulness, particularly Compassionate Mindfulness, laying emphasis on somatic experience and the felt sense, and in its challenge to cultural limitations. Sadly, Denton Roberts died in 2011. At that time it was said of him: "from the hot days of Selma, to the poverty-scarred streets of South Central Los Angeles, to a nation inebriated on the wine of war, to the hallowed space of Ground Zero in New York City, Denton provided leadership and love, presence and prayer, counsel and creativity...he kept his eyes on the prize of equality, loveable-ness, empowerment, and the precious value of every human being." That spirit is still much needed in the world today. With society wracked by ever deeper divisions, and personal insecurities becoming more and more widespread, Not So Common publishing have decided now is the time to republish Able & Equal in a new, updated edition.
