Summary

Blending ancient, Eastern religious practices with contemporary, secularized in-sight, A Burning Desire addresses the core struggles people suffering from addictive and compulsive behaviors face on the road to recovery. In this book, meditation teacher and author of One Breath at a Time Kevin Griffin explores the ways in which the Twelve Step idea of God or Higher Power can be understood from a Buddhist perspective.
