Sought Through Prayer and Meditation: Wisdom from the Sunday 11th Step Meetings at the Wolfe Street Center in Little Rock offers 52 weeks of prayers, meditations, and spiritual reflections inspired by Alcoholics Anonymous Eleventh Step meetings. Based on the notes and experiences of Geno W. and developed with writer William G. Borchert, this book encourages readers to deepen their spiritual practice and strengthen their conscious contact with a Higher Power.
Explore the Eleventh Step Through Prayer and Meditation
Step Eleven encourages people in recovery to strengthen their conscious contact with God as they understand Him through prayer and meditation. Sought Through Prayer and Meditation explores this principle through reflections on faith, willingness, spiritual awareness, and learning to seek guidance in everyday life.
The book invites readers to make time for quiet reflection, examine their spiritual growth, and consider how prayer and meditation can support their ongoing recovery.
Inspired by the Wolfe Street Center's Sunday Meetings
At the Wolfe Street Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, members gathered for Sunday morning Eleventh Step meetings known as the "Hour of Power." These gatherings provided an opportunity to explore spiritual principles, share experiences, and discuss ways to develop a more meaningful relationship with a Higher Power.
Geno W., a cofounder of the Wolfe Street Center, preserved insights from these discussions. Working with William G. Borchert, those notes became this collection of weekly recovery reflections.
52 Weeks of Spiritual Reflection
Unlike daily meditation books with dated readings for every day of the year, Sought Through Prayer and Meditation is organized for weekly study. Each week's material combines prayer, meditation, and related insights inspired by the Wolfe Street meetings.
Readers can use the book during a weekly Eleventh Step practice, in personal reflection, or alongside group discussions. The flexible format also allows readers to return to a particular reflection whenever they need encouragement, serenity, or spiritual direction.
