Recovery Bible

Introduction

The founders of the modern recovery movement, including Bill Wilson, Bob Smith, and other early AAs, were deeply influenced by a handful of inspirational authors, from whom they received practical guidance, key insights, and concrete ideas. Their explorations of inspirational literature and useable spiritual methods gave rise to the program of spiritual self-help now practiced around the world as the twelve-step tradition.

Now, some of the core books that both inspired and were produced by the early twelve-steppers and recovery pioneers – including the first edition of the 1939 landmark Alcoholic Anonymous – are collected in this powerful resource, The Recovery Bible.

Here are early writings by the visionaries of recovery. Their work retains all of its impact and life-changing power – now at the ready for study, immediate guidance, and a lifetime of re-exploration in this one volume.

The Recovery Bible includes:

• Alcoholics Anonymous, the original 1939 landmark
• The Greatest Thing in the World by Henry Drummond
• In Tune with the Infinite by Ralph Waldo Trine
• The Mental Equivalent by Emmet Fox
• As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
• The 23rd and 91st Psalms
• Religion that Works by the Rev. Sam Shoemaker
• The Varieties of Religious Experience by William James
