A tool for those in addiction recovery, and anyone seeking spiritual growth, that explains how to listen to God who has a message for each person to become who they are meant to be.

Two way prayer is an extension of the 11th step of AA to use prayer and meditation to improve a connection with God on the journey to sobriety. The practice has emerged as a valuable part of the addiction recovery process and has been validated in scientific studies. Priest and recovering alcoholic, Fr. Bill W. offers detailed, step-by-step instructions as well as sample writings that demonstrate how practical, intimate, and transforming this type of prayer can be. At the heart of the practice, there is dedicated morning devotion and quiet time, where a person asks for spiritual guidance, pauses and listens for the answer, and begins writing down the guidance that is received. It is this practical approach to prayer through listening and writing that provides a spiritual awakening, since any guidance received must be carried into action as a way to be of service. Readers will be shown how the practice can be shared and how it will comfort and guide them one day at a time as they embark on a deeper and more transformative phase of their recovery journey.

Father Bill W. is an Episcopal priest who has been in recovery since 1972. He has served as a counselor and administrator of several nationally recognized addiction treatment centers, including Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Center in Detroit, Baton Rouge General Hospital Chemical Dependency Unit, and Cottonwood Treatment Centers. He has taught as adjunct faculty lecturing on addiction and spirituality at the University of Texas School of Social Work, The Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest, and Austin Presbyterian Seminary. He was a Fellow in Residence at the Hope and Healing Institute in Houston, Texas. He hosts the Fr. Bill W. podcast and workshops on meaningful recovery. He lives near Austin, Texas.
