Overview

GOD REALIZATION looks at the current state of religion and why I believe it is a broken concept. The impact of marketing a non-quantifiable product is explored. GOD REALIZATION will provide the reader with a Vedic concept known as Yuga, The Cycle of Ages and how that dynamic impacts the various religious traditions. GOD REALIZATION will look at why I believe the Eastern religions are so different from the Western religions. It will assess the influence of the foundational hunter-gatherer culture on the Abrahamic traditions. GOD REALIZATION will also, above all else, provide an alternative to the perceived problem. GOD REALIZATION is mainly a how-to guide that directs you in the process of reaching and connecting with the Divine Presence in your being, which is the proposed solution to the problems presented in the first part of the book. This guide is based on the 12 Step model but is structured to lead you to a deeper level spiritual connection than the traditional, behavior modification oriented, 12 Step programs. This book includes worksheets for each of the Steps and an interpretation of the 12 Traditions that will allow you, the reader, to form your own supportive spiritual fellowship.

In GOD REALIZATION Reverend Philip Strom demonstrates an excellent example of how the AA 12-steps and 12-traditions can be a universal guide for any spiritual path. Your book is incredible!!! -Laura Bassett, MA, LMHC, LPAT GOD REALIZATION shows us a simple proven way to transcend religion and find the Spirituality so often lost in religious traditions. Rev. Phil's approach to the Twelve Steps makes them freshly understandable and practical, applicable to all of humanity. -John Bray-Morris M.D. GOD REALIZATION is a thoughtfully crafted narrative providing a fresh perspective on finding meaning in one's life. Born out of a long history of man's search for meaning, in GOD REALIZATION, Rev. Philip Strom extends readers an invitation to explore and cultivate their own spiritual nature. Inspired by the transformative simplicity of the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous, Rev. Phil presents us with a framework of practical tools with the intent of awakening us to the realization of God in our lives. If nothing else, reading GOD REALIZATION is practicing its message: living a spiritual life starts in the here and now. -Michael Perkins, LICSW I just finished GOD REALIZATION, Book 2 of the God Trilogy, written by Reverend Phil Strom. This book has literally changed my life in and out of recovery. In my knowledge, it is the first time in almost 90 years that these 12 Steps have been looked at and improved on. Rev. Phil will take a full credit from God to update these archaic steps and if you read the book like I have it will change your whole outlook on recovery. You need to take some initiative and responsibility, and order and read his life changing book. By far, the best 12 Step explanation I have ever read. -Marcus Platt, P.C. 'When the student is ready the teacher will appear.' I am honored to say that Rev. Philip Strom has been a teacher, friend, and an inspirational colleague on this soul evolutionary journey we call life. GOD REALIZATION is a testimony of one man (with the help of grace) who through suffering, affliction, and addiction came to the realization that there are two voices in life, the voice of Shadow and the voice of Spirit. It was through his 'wisdom to know the difference' between the two that led him to the 12-step path of recovery. Ultimately, this would lead him to author the book GOD REALIZATION. This book not only compliments the 12-step program, it evolves it by distilling the essence of religion and recovery to one principle: that by transcending the ego, Spirit is realized. May this book be a guiding light for students and teachers alike on the path toward God Realization and Self Actualization. -Rev. Kirsten Wolfe, Interfaith Minister, LMHC
