Description

Is there truly hope for a spiritual way of life that works?

We all have something we turn to—admiration, comfort, love, power, success, pleasure, escape, or control—whether we recognize it or not. In this deeply personal and insightful book, John Ortberg offers a path to real transformation for those who sense the need for change but feel powerless to make it happen on their own.

Drawing from the wisdom of Jesus and the guiding principles of the 12 steps, Ortberg provides a liberating framework for:

Giving up the exhausting and ineffective struggle to fix, manage, and control our own lives
Understanding when willpower is necessary and when it falls short
Recognizing how God can accomplish in us what we cannot do for ourselves
Living with authenticity, joy, and deeper connection with both God and others

Ortberg also explores:

How our spiritual attachment styles shape our relationship with God
The doubts that hold us back and how to address them
The power of practices like prayer, meditation, and mindfulness
God’s ability to sustain us even in our weaknesses

In *Steps*, discover the freedom, fellowship, and happiness that are possible no matter your circumstances.
