Millions of Americans, an estimated 40 percent of our population, are flocking to support groups of all kinds-from AA to abuse prevention to pray fellowships. Why, and with what consequences? In a landmark study of one thousand small groups around the country, Robert Wuthnow of Princeton University, a leading interpreter of American religion and culture, examines the growth of the support group movement and its meaning in our national life. Wuthnow shows that this movement is effecting a quiet revolution-one that is dramatically changing our relationship to the self, to the community, and to the sacred.Wuthnow, Robert is the author of 'Sharing the Journey Support Groups and America's New Quest for Community' with ISBN 9780029356258 and ISBN 0029356253.
