I so look forward to the richness of Father Bill’s podcasts each week. The books he leads us through, the wonderful guests he interviews and the rich history he shares, both his own and AA’s, are always inspiring. He always helps me, as does the practice of Two Way Prayer, go from my often misguided thoughts to listening to the Great Reality Within —to the truth within my heart. Thank you Father Bill!!
