The Books Early AAs Read for Spiritual Growth

Author: Dick B

The most exhaustive bibliography (with brief summaries) of all the books known to have been read and recommended for spiritual growth by early AAs in Akron and on the East Coast.

From the Author:

As the years have passed since I first began my research and writing in 1990, I have found, studied, and analyzed more and more books that early AAs read, studied, circulated, and used to establish their spiritual program of recovery. Several years ago, one bibliography commented that the particular edition for that year was the most comprehensive work available on the books of early A.A. And that was then. Since then, more and more books have come to my attention and review from Sam Shoemaker's own library, from Oxford Group people, from A.A. people such as Clarence Snyder, and from visits to archives and libraries such as Episcopal Church Archives in Austin, Texas; Hartford Seminary in Connecticut; Calvary Episcopal Church in New York; Calvary Episcopal Church in Pittsburgh; Moral Re-Armament Headquarters in Washington, D.C.; and on and on. People have wanted to know about, locate, and study these books. And this title will answer their questions. The Seventh Edition is probably the last edition, representing 9 years of research, and the work done on fourteen published titles. It will help students, scholars, collectors, archives, Twelve Step members, the recovery community, and others to get an accurate picture of A.A. "spirituality" which really meant dependence upon God.
