Breathing Under Water

In Breathing Under Water, Richard Rohr merges Christian spirituality with the Twelve Steps, revealing a path of surrender, healing, and grace as a universal response to addiction. Drawing on Scripture, psychology, and extensive pastoral experience, he offers a transformative view of addiction—emphasizing it as a shared human condition rather than a personal failing. Each of the Twelve Steps is reframed as an opportunity for profound reorientation, leading to a deeper understanding of freedom and relationship with oneself and God. Through his signature blend of theological insight and compassion, Rohr invites readers to let go of false control and rediscover the essence of life.
