A kindle Edition of my most popular book "When Man Listens"
When Man Listens has been called by many as a mini AA book, and by others as a source document to The Big Book. When Man listens was written by Cecil Rose in 1938 and republished by Healing-habits in 2009. since it’s republication it has helped thousands with their spiritual recovery.
A book of how to Listen to God.
In His preface Cecil Rose writes ?The chapters of this book are an attempt to set down briefly the simple elements of Christian living. I believe that there is nothing in them which cannot be found in the New Testament?. What Cecil Rose wrote was a model for living that went beyond the Christian faith. It became one of the sources of the 12 Step recovery program. Which has brought many people to God. It embodies universal principles that serves all of mankind. It is an excellent guide for ; People of the Christian faith People who are struggling with their 12 step program. People seeking to deepen their Spiritual/ religious connection People who are seeking to live a life of honor and integrity in a world in filled with the opposite It is my honor and pleasure to have Cecil Roses work reborn through this reprinting so that the masses can have access to his words and the principles he speaks of.

Excerpt
It is very necessary to keep that word "Absolute"
in mind. It is like a clear white light searching into
all sorts of hidden corners. It makes sure that I shall
not overlook the places where I was content with a
second best or excused myself for a compromise.
Honesty? Well, that is not too bad. I do not rob
the till, or make fraudulent returns to the Inspector
of Taxes. (Or do I ?) But Absolute Honesty? That
looks different. Do I make elaborate excuses over
something that I have simply forgotten to do? Do
I waste my employer's time by lateness or slackness?
Am I living in the open with my family?

Life-changing is simply normal Christian living.
Its doing Christ's work. If our aim fall below that
level we are failing Him.

...initial surrender, if it is thorough and honest,
is met at once from God's side. When we hand
over God takes charge, and things begin to happen.

Recovery Thought: 12/03/08
[when we surrender] a world of strain falls
from us. The business of running life is off
our hands. We find that we get through more
work, because it is being ordered better. We
meet people we were afraid of, and discover
that fear has gone. A habit that always beat us
seems to have lost its power. Someone we
could not bear appears to us in a new light,
and we love them. We come through an ordeal
and know that it was not in our own strength.
The fascinating experience of getting re-made
has begun.

.. one of the serious effects of our reserve
and spiritual isolation is that we have become
strangers to our own souls. God has to bring
us right out into the light, where we can see
ourselves stripped of self-deception and face
the naked truth. -- When a Man Listens
Recovery Thought: 11/20/08
The most frequent reason for our isolation is fear.
It is fear which makes us hide.
We are afraid of many things. We fear the loss
of reputation. We think that if other people saw
what we are really like, they would laugh at our
mistakes and despise us for our failures. So we
cover up our mistakes and failures with silence or
self excuse. We pose as confident, when we are
nothing of the kind. The face we present to the
world is really a mask.
-- When Man Listens
Recovery Thought: 11/15/09
We have made our plans and decisions first,
and then sought God's blessing and assistance.
Prayer, when it consists of this one-sided address
by us to God, becomes increasingly unreal and is
eventually dropped or only formally retained.
Christian prayer begins with the desire to know
God's will for us and be brought under His control.

Our reasoning is very often only an
elaborate means of justifying what we
want to do; our decisions are dictated
by fear, prejudice, feeling, and our
disguised lust. And none of us can see
the issues involved in our simplest act.

God speaks. That is the tremendous
fact around which both the Old and New
Testaments are built - not that man can
and may speak to God, but that God can
and does speak to man.

God does, not want children who will
just behave themselves and give Him no
trouble. He wants willing co-operators who
will allow Him to direct their lives in every
detail, and to fit them together as a living
part of His plan of reconstruction. It is when
we are prepared to seek the will of God at this
level that we shall find the answer to all our own
problems, and the world's problems as well.

God cannot take over my life unless I am willing.
Willingness is not a matter of feeling. It is not a
vague desire that God should change me. It is
not an impulsive resolve to obey God in future.
It is a very practical thing. If a man is bankrupt
and consents to his chief creditor reorganizing
and running the business, the first thing he must
do is to produce the books - all of them.

Our fundamental need is for Him to be in charge.
Our fundamental sin is that we have not allowed
Him to be. We may have referred some of our
difficulties and questions to Him. We may have
accepted portions of His programme for us - selected
according to taste - but we have not given Him
complete command. The self-run life has been our
trouble. -- When a Man Listens

Recovery Thought: 9/17/09
To face a completely honest talk with
someone I can trust makes me see myself
as I could never do in any other way. It may
bring to light much that I have missed. It will
certainly make it harder for me to go back or
postpone carrying out my resolutions. This is one
of the purposes for which God has given us fellow-
ship. It is dangerous to neglect it.
