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
Based on 1 Corinthians 13, this well-loved classic provides
life-changing insight into the nine components of love: patience,
kindness, humility, generosity, courtesy, unselfishness, good
temper, guilelessness, and sincerity. The simple beauty and
positive truths of this dynamic message will encourage readers to
practice the power and blessing of love in every area of life.
New large-type edition of Henry Drummond's classic sermons on Love
and the Christian life.
I was staying with a party of friends in a country house during my
visit to England in 1884. On Sunday evening as we sat around the
fire, they asked me to read and expound some portion of Scripture.
Being tired after the services of the day, I told them to ask Henry
Drummond, who was one of the party. After some urging he drew a
small Testament from his hip pocket, opened it at the 13th chapter
of I Corinthians, and began to speak on the subject of Love. It
seemed to me that I had never heard anything so beautiful, and I
determined not to rest until I brought Henry Drummond to Northfield
to deliver that address. Since then I have requested the principals
of my schools to have it read before the students every year. The
one great need in our Christian life is love, more love to God and
to eacho ther. Would that we could all move into that Love chapter,
and live there. This volume contains, in addition to the address on
Love, some other addresses which I trust will bring help and
blessing to many.
