Reviews of The Wide Open Door
Rokelle Lerner, international lecturer, trainer, consultant, and Author of Daily Affirmations for Adult Children of Alcoholics and Affirmations for the Inner Child:
Tav Sparks presents us with a stunning synthesis of psychology, spirituality, and the Twelve Step traditions. Through his wisdom, depth of knowledge and heart, Tav helps us to rediscover the Twelve Steps at a new and deeper level. The Wide Open Door masterfully bridges the gap between the fields of addictions and psychology which has left many clinicians and recovering people ill at ease. The Wide Open Door is an important contribution to the addictions field.

Tav Sparks has provided a significant service in illuminating the way that deep Twelve Step recovery practice aligns with both ancient and contemporary ways of spiritual transformation.
