Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life: finally, a daily reflection book for nonbelievers, freethinkers and everyone

Now, the 2023 10th anniversary 3rd printing offer a revised Preface, updated links and sources, and for the first time, a a hardcover version. Beyond Belief was the first daily reflection book for nonbelievers, freethinkers and everyone. Rebellion Dogs Publishing delivers less dogma and more bite in the ongoing discussion of mental health, addiction and substance use. Beyond Belief is secular--neither religious nor irreligious--offering a practical daily reflection book in a contemporary language. From the Foreword by Dr. Ernie Kurtz (author of Not A History of Alcoholics Anonymous & The Spirituality of Imperfection ):"The book is aimed at a general 12-Step readership, but it is mindful that there heretofore exist no such aids for unbelievers, freethinkers, and the unconventionally spiritual. Given that the latest Pew Research survey found that twenty percent of the American people list their religious affiliation as 'None,' it is certainly time that the Recovery world took into consideration this population's needs. Beyond Belief addresses that need in a confident, non-aggressive way. I doubt that any believer will find anything objectionable in its pages. This believer, for one, finds much that is spiritually helpful." Nothing is sacred or forbidden; we draw from classic and contemporary 12-Step wisdom and we explore philosophy, psychology, entertainment, art, spiritual musings, skeptical inquiry and the uncanny wisdom in the online and face-to-face rooms of mutual aid.Professional and 12&12 Member Joe Nowinski, PhD, The Twelve Step Facilitation Handbook and If You work It It Works! The Science Behind 12 Step Recovery . "Books like Beyond Belief play an increasingly vital role in supporting individuals, who come from a variety of belief systems." Marya Hornbacher, New York Times bestselling author of A Nonbeliever's Higher Power author says, "Since its publication, Beyond Belief has more than help up as the cornerstone of the secular recovery movement and the keystone of its literature. It has provided a daily dose of insight, wisdom and a dose of reason for recovering people all over the world. Ten years later, as that world spins madly on, we need the clarity and vitality of these meditations more than ever.Beyond Belief continues to serve as a bacon that can help any recovering person find their way." “I expected his book to be good. It’s WAY, WAY better than good. The book is outstanding. Two decades of not being a ‘daily reflections’ kind of guy, are over. Now I have reflections worth reflecting over! Buy this book or you will suffer a horrible and painful death! Well, maybe not, but you’ll be missing out on something very good.” Bob K, The Secret Diary of Bill W , Key Players in AA History "Almost everything about the book looks ground breaking and thought provoking, from its interactive format (on the Kindle version you can browse through a hundred or so linked topics such as 'Brain Chemistry', 'Gratitude' or 'Zen'), to its edgy literary style."The book includes an index of over 120 topics, extensive notes and a bibliography.
