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.\n\nAs nothing is sacred or forbidden in peer-to-peer recovery; we draw from classic and contemporary 12-Step wisdom and we explore philosophy, psychology, entertainment, art, spiritual musings, culture, skeptical inquiry and the uncanny wisdom in the online and face-to-face rooms of mutual aid.\n\nProfessional and 12\u0026amp;12 Member reviews:\n\nDr. Amy, MSW, Ph.D., author of From Surviving to Thriving: Transforming Your Caregiving Journey: Beyond Belief offers a spiritual welcome mat to agnostics and free thinkers in recovery. Joe C. provides readers with a thoughtful and enlightened year-long road map to self-improvement that reaches beyond the bounds of traditional Twelve Step thought—Bravo!”\n\nWilliam Schaberg, Writing the Big Book: The Creation of A. A., \"It is tremendously satisfying to know that ten years after it first appeared, Beyond Belief's third printing is snow available in a beautiful hardcover edition, complementing the eBook and paperback offerings. This important book combines profound wisdom--from the daily quotes that lead off each entry, followed by the plain-spoken suggestions for application in our day-to-day lives. The Big Book says that 'the point is that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines--that's what this book so richly offers: daily encouragement to engage in a more productive life.\"\n\nJoe 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.\"\n\nPearl B, “Many thanks for this great book; my Monday night group and I are having some great discussions related to the daily musings both at the group and often during the week over coffee. All of us were quickly losing interest in the local meetings; Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life gave all of us a much needed spark that has renewed our interest in the fellowship.”\n\nBob K, The Secret Diary of Bill W, Key Players in AA History, “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.”\n\nChristopher Burn, writer, psychotherapist, blogger, \"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.\"\n\nAvailable from Rebellion Dogs Publishing website and your favorite online or brick-and-mortar retailer in eBook or paperback, and now HARD COVER, Beyond Belief is a \"go-to\" for online and in-person groups and for individual reflection.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0CKB6NZ94\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0CKB6NZ94.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:C., Joe|Chester, Amelia|Kurtz PhD, Ernest|Eyolfson Cadham, Joan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
