Synopsis

Here's a very special book for those who want to rely on the power of God for healing and cure of alcoholism and addiction, want to join others of like mind, and also want to gather as a study group that resembles and uses early A.A. principles and practices. This book tells you how the A.A. pioneers got well. It makes many specific suggestions as to how to conduct a study group, what the topics can be, what the leader should do, what the resources can be, and how the group can organize and proceed. It is a very practical guide being used by many groups today. Some operate as A.A. groups. Some as church groups. Some as recovery groups. Some as Big Book, or Bible or Twelve Step study groups--and even all three together. Some fellowships are conducted with the help of a church, a professional, or a garden variety drunk. Some have even called themselves The James Club which was the name the early AAs wanted to give to the A.A. Society at the time the Big Book was being written. They favored study of the Book of James in the Bible. So did Bill Wilson. And Dr. Bob and his wife mentioned it frequently. Here is a guide you can use for yourself, for a meeting, for a group, for a church, or for a recovery program.
