Priest and recovering alcoholic, Fr. Bill W.offers detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to enter into Two Way Prayer.

Critic Reviews

“What we find in these pages reminds me that the arc of lifelong recovery is a journey demanding commitment, faith, and practical wisdom; thanks to Fr. Bill for showing fellow travelers like me how it works and how to work it along our way.” William Cope Moyers, author of Broken, My Story of Addiction and Redemption, and VP Public Affairs & Community Relations, Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation
“This book is the most detailed and extensive ‘deep dive’ into Step Eleven I have ever read. It explains how Step Eleven was practiced during the early days of the Twelve Step movement when we had a 50-75% recovery rate from alcoholism.” Wally P., author of Back to Basics and Listening to God
“Father Bill W.’s book is a wonderful description of a piece of AA history that I didn’t know. I highly recommend this book as a supplement to what we already know about recovery practice and therapy.” Linda Farris Kurtz, author of Recovery Groups: A Guide to Creating, Leading, and Working with Groups for Addictions and Mental Health Conditions, Professor Emeritus, Eastern Michigan University
“The practice of Two Way Prayer is a pearl of great price. I’m grateful to Fr. Bill W. for unearthing this treasure and sharing it so generously. It has expanded my prayer life exponentially.”
  Jeff Jay, CIP and author of Love First
“A must-read for all members of Twelve-Step programs and indeed all who are on a spiritual journey and seeking a deeper relationship with their true Self!” Ian Mc Cabe, Ph.D., Psy.D. author of Carl Jung and Alcoholics Anonymous
“What is the Higher Power to whom I give my life? Two Way Prayer invites the reader to discover the power of conversation with that which is greater than can be imagined. It helps the reader experience subtle shifts that lead to more profound changes in heart and mind. If you are seeking to find deliverance from that which ails you, or you are a wizened twelve stepper, I encourage you to pick this book up as it will help give words to the serenity you seek.” C. Andrew Doyle, IX Bishop of the Diocese of Texas and author of Unabashed Faith
