AlbakiReads Editorial

A Christian framework for change at personal and community levels

David J. Gierlach adapts the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as a framework for Christian personal and social change. The book connects individual practices—such as recognizing limits, examining the past, and learning through surrender and self-searching—with questions about how communities might respond to what has gone wrong and build on what has gone well. Its guiding concern is how shared life might more closely reflect what the author describes as God’s dream. The approach brings recovery-derived steps into a broader religious and communal context.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in applying the 12 Steps beyond individual recovery
  • Readers exploring Christian approaches to personal and community change
  • Readers interested in Anglican Christianity and church-related social questions

Book overview

In a world that seems to be falling apart, how can we shape not only our own lives, but the lives of our community to create a world that more closely resembles God's dream for us? This book attempts to offer a way forward. Using the ageless wisdom of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, it applies those steps not only to our personal lives, but to the lives of our broader community. Imagine living in a world where we recognize that we are not the center of the universe. That we are not in control of other people, places or things. Imagine a world in which collectively we can fearlessly examine our past and call out what went horribly wrong and celebrate what was wonderfully right. Imagine a world in which the wisdom gained through surrender and self searching is then shared with the whole wide world! Imagine such a world! This small book is an effort to move us all in that direction.
