In our addiction recovery centre, we devote a lot of time to Spirituality. The whole basis of the 12 Step program is around a relationship with a "Power Greater than Yourself", and for many people coming into recovery the concept of a Higher Power is confusing and somewhat threatening. We use this beautiful book to talk about prayer, and how it a part of the human makeup, and has been since the beginning of civilizations. In the archeological history of humankind, not all excavated lost communities have schools. They don't all have garbage dumps. They don't all have hospitals. They don't all have a marketplace. But every community ever found and studied, has had a place of worship.

Our guests love the respectful and colourful photographs we work with each week in a prayer assignment. It also gives us a template to loosely discuss different Spiritual Traditions, and how men, women and children throughout time have understood, surrendered to, and loved their Higher Power.
