About the Book:
He Did Deliver Me From Bondage is the book that introduced the 12 Steps to the LDS Church, explaining the principles in the steps in terms of the restored gospel. First published in 1989, He Did Deliver Me From Bondage was adopted in 1991 by LDS Family Services (then LDS Social Services) as the only text used in their LDS Addiction Recovery Program. To date, more than 150,000 copies have been sold, definitely making it a best seller.


He Did Deliver Me From Bondage had its origin in research Colleen did looking for the principles found in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in the Book of Mormon. Colleen reasoned that if these principles that had helped so many alcoholics and other addicts find recovery, they must be part of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Her search uncovered a multitude of verses teaching the principles found in each of the steps. Although there wasn't room to use them all, these verses formed the framework for He Did Deliver Me From Bondage.

Available from Deseret Book and other LDS bookstores and at Amazon.com.
