A Woman's Way Through the Twelve Steps is very faithful to the 12 Steps as written in the Big Book but 'plumps out' the language in a way that is helpful and speaks to the spiritual and emotional needs of women. We have used this book in several groups and found the content to be so rich that we have ... Read More Rating: - UsefulI have gone through the Steps using this twice in small groups. Excellent way to work the steps with those you sponsor.
