Both individuals and society are drowning in addictions, says dynamic speaker Richard Rohr, O.F.M., in this powerful presentation. To survive the tidal wave of compulsive behavior and addiction, Christians must learn to "breathe under water" and discover God's love and compassion. Rohr's presentation was an instant best-seller on audiocassette and is now available on compact disc. Renewed interest in Breathing Under Water can be expected as Rohr will be leading retreats in 2005 that revisit and extend the original themes presented in these talks.

In Breathing Under Water, Richard Rohr shows how the gospel principles in the Twelve Steps can free anyone from any addiction—from an obvious dependence on alcohol or drugs to the more common but less visible addiction we all have to sin.
