Programs for addicts are usually centered around a particular belief system, making it difficult for agnostics, atheists, freethinkers and other like-minded individuals to become committed adherents. There is always a sense of distance, a sense of isolation imparted to those who have secularist leanings. Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life by Joe C. is a universal guide on how to lead a sober and happy life without the need to subscribe to a specific religious tenet.
It is this universality that makes Joe C.'s book capable of changing so many lives. Using frank prose that speaks to the reader in a language unfettered by references to deities and simply taps into that spark in everyone that wants to be better, Beyond Belief is the perfect daily companion. Although written primarily for addicts looking for secular means to break their negative habits, Beyond Belief can easily reach out and become a challenging guide for people looking for ways to cope with a troubled life and those who wish to contemplate life a day at a time. The quotes, narratives and daily challenges found in the book give readers a set of goals to start each day and a way to assess their performance at the end of it.
People with strong beliefs will find that the lessons and messages found in this book do not in any way contradict the teachings of their faith. Everyone, regardless of religion and creed, has a right to live a clean, sober and happy life. Joe C.'s Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life is that rare book that can change the life of anyone who picks it up and take the words in it to heart.
