Stepping into Life: Twelve-Step Meditations for Aotearoa

Self Help, Devotional | Major Sue Hay | Flag Publications

Stepping into Life is a book of devotions by Major Sue Hay—and published by our territory’s own Flag Publications—that interacts with the 12 Steps programme from Alcoholics Anonymous to share encouragements for the recovery journey. The welcoming and down-to-earth tone from these stories—about feijoas, ferry misadventures and smoke alarms—invites readers to consider their experiences and work towards wholeness in their own lives. A great strength of these reflections is the way that Sue continues to draw notice back to God in her conversations about healing and points the reader towards him as well, with gentleness and curiosity.
