Thank you to the team at Upper Room Books, especially Stephen Bryant, Kathleen Stephens, Rita Collett, and Robin Pippin, for their encouragement and colleagueship in the ministry of books. Their efforts in getting this book out for North American readers is deeply appreciated.

Thank you to Bill Meaker for his careful reading of each chap­ter and helpful suggestions. Over the years he has continually challenged me to write in a more simple, down-to-earth and practical way.

Thank you to John H. from Alcoholics Anonymous who com­panioned me throughout the writing of this book. Constantly he would bring to my attention some aspect of AA thinking that I had overlooked. His personal recovery and way of life bears powerful witness to the way God uses the Twelve Step program to restore and to heal.

Thank you to Keith Miller, who through his many writings, has shaped my thinking considerably when it comes to linking the Twelve Steps with the Christian faith. To this day I continue to read and reread his material as I seek to work the Steps in my own life. I would love to say thank you in person one day.

Thank you to Lyn Meyer for her faithful colleagueship in preparing this manuscript for the publisher. I am in debt to her for her generous willingness to invest talents and time in each book that I write.

Thank you to all my friends at AA who often share their ex­­perience, strength, hope, and counsel with me.

Thank you to my church family at Northfield Methodist Church, especially to my colleagues Schalk Pienaar, John and Debbie van de Laar, and Phidian Matsepe for their interaction and conversation around some of the ideas presented in this book.

Lastly, but not least, thank you to Debbie, Joni, and Mark, with whom I share my life as a “recovering sinner.” Their faithful love helps me more than anything else in the world to experience the faithful love of God.
