The Fix: How the Twelve Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation for the Well-Adjusted, the D

"Read by the author. Did you know that anyone--addicts or non-addicts--can benefit from working the Twelve Steps and find the freedom, joy, and intimacy with God that their hearts long for? We all suffer from a sense of spiritual homelessness--a feeling that we're not fully at home in the world. To cope with our painful feelings and life traumas, we search for quick 'fixes' that eventually become habitual, self-destructive behaviors that ultimately create more problems than they solve. As a person in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, Ian Cron is no stranger to these destructive habits. It wasn't until he embraced the Twelve Steps that he found true freedom. He knows from personal experience that Twelve Step recovery is more than just a life-saving strategy for guiding substance users into sobriety. Everybody is addicted to something to numb the discomfort of living in a messed-up world, he says, but the good news is that if you committedly 'work the steps,' you will eventually have a vital spiritual awakening that will give you an entirely new and radically beautiful orientation toward the life God has for you. If you long for sustainable healing and joy amid life's messiness, The Fix invites you to: - Journey step-by-step through a spiritual curriculum that has helped millions overcome trauma, pain, and brokenness for over eight decades - Understand how the Twelve Steps can be a transformative tool not only for people with chemical or behavioral addictions but for anyone who wants to move beyond self-help to a spiritual awakening - Catch yourself in the act of self-sabotaging behaviors and understand how each day is a new opportunity to trade in self-willed reformation for grace-powered transformation 'My original subtitle for this book--Twelve Steps to Unscrewing Your Screwed-Up Life--was a little over the top,' Ian comments. 'But anyone who has ever fallen for a quick fix (like drugs, alcohol, porn, overeating, work, religion, people-pleasing, and more) knows firsthand how our self-prescribed treatment plans derail us. They might not be as visible as empty bottles stashed inside a desk drawer, but they are just as life-complicating and soul-crushing.' With his characteristic wit and transparent self-disclosure, Ian guides us in learning how to work each of the Twelve Steps so we will finally be given a 'new pair of glasses' through which we will be able to see ourselves, others, and the world in a startlingly new way--and ultimately take hold of the freedom God has been waiting to give us all along."

Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me: A Memoir. . . of Sorts

"A touching memoir of life with an alcoholic father who secretly works with the CIA, a dark pilgrimage through the valley of depression and addiction, and finding a faith to redeem and a strength to forgive. 'This is a record of my life as I remember it-but more importantly, as I felt it.' At the age of sixteen, Ian Morgan Cron was told by his mother that his father, a motion picture executive, worked with the CIA in Europe. This astonishing revelation, coupled with his father's dark struggle with alcoholism, upended the world of a teenager struggling to become a man. Born into a family of privilege and power, Ian's life is populated with colorful people and stories as his father takes the family on a wild roller-coaster ride through wealth and poverty and back again. Decades later, as he faced his own personal demons, Ian realized that the only way to find peace was to voyage back through a painful childhood marked by extremes-privilege and poverty, violence and tenderness, truth and deceit-that he'd spent years trying to escape. - A fast-paced, unique memoir about the power of forgiveness from the bestselling author of The Road Back to You - Details his father's struggle with alcohol and Cron's own journey from addiction to twenty-three years of sobriety - Encouragement to see God's redemptive power through life's struggles In this surprisingly funny and forgiving memoir, Ian reminds us that no matter how different the pieces may be, in the end we are all cut from the same cloth, stitched by faith into an exquisite quilt of grace."

[Portuguese] - Uma jornada de autodescoberta: O que o Eneagrama revela sobre você

"A maioria das pessoas acha que sabe quem é, mas a realidade não é bem essa. O que desconhecem sobre si mesmas pode não somente machucá-las, mas também causar problemas em seus relacionamentos. Sem compreender como enxergamos o mundo e como fomos moldados, permaneceremos prisioneiros de nossa própria história. Chega uma hora na vida de todos nós em que é preciso desligar o piloto automático e acordar para a nossa realidade. Ian Morgan Cron e Suzanne Stabile apresentam um modo milenar, mas ainda desconhecido de muitos, capaz de ajudá-lo a compreender sua personalidade e a daqueles que o cercam. Ao apresentar o Eneagrama, figura geométrica de nove pontas que sistematiza grupos de personalidade com simplicidade e eficácia, os autores descortinam o início de uma jornada de autodescoberta de benefícios extraordinários, de compaixão pelos outros e de amor por Deus."

[Spanish] - El camino de regreso a ti: Un eneagrama hacia tu verdadero yo

"La ignorancia es una bendición, excepto para el autoconocimiento. Lo que no conoces acerca de ti puede dañarte# a ti, a tus relaciones y a la forma en que vives la vida. Además, puede mantenerte en un plano superficial con Dios. ¿Quieres aprender a descubrir quién eres y por qué tropiezas una y otra vez con los mismos patrones autodestructivos? Encuentra la respuesta en el antiguo sistema de tipos de personalidad llamado Eneagrama, cuya asombrosa precisión para describir las personalidades que poseemos los seres humanos #tanto de forma positiva como negativa# ha elevado su popularidad en los últimos años. Aunque otros autores han explorado sus conexiones con la espiritualidad cristiana, no hubo anteriormente un enfoque tan práctico, exhaustivo y accesible como el que Ian Morgan y Suzanne Stabile han logrado. Al comenzar a efectuar los cambios que puedes empezar a hacer hoy mismo, la sabiduría del Eneagrama te ayudará a encaminarte hacia la senda que te conducirá a la mejor y más genuina versión de ti mismo. #Si quieres comprenderte a ti mismo y comprender a aquellos que te rodean, este libro profundo y brillante es un excelente punto de partida#. #W. m. Paul Young, autor de La cabaña"
