Today we’re talking … about Islam as it applies to the 12 Steps - with Andrea Travers.

 Andrea Travers was born in New York, where she was also ordained in 2003. Aside from her doctor's degree in ministry, which she acquired in 2010, she also has a bachelor's degree in journalism and a master's degree in mass communication from the University of Oregon and University of Portland respectively. Married with three children, she now lives in the city of Wilsonville in Oregon with her family.
Andrea’s study of Islam was conducted as part of her doctoral work that studied the eight faith traditions as well as two years at an interfaith seminary in New York City where she was ordained. 
She is an author of several books including the
Twelve Wisdom Steps: Unifying Principles of the 12 Steps of A.A. Found in the Wisdom Traditions,
is described as thus:

Beneath the well-known twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) are the universal principles of spiritual practice as they are expressed in traditional religions and wisdom traditions; including Buddhism, Christianity, Cosmology, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Native American Spirituality, and Taoism. 
This wisdom expressed itself in the 20th century movement known as A.A. The purpose of her book is to ensure that seekers from all faith traditions have an opportunity to realize and appreciate the universality of transformative spiritual practices.
