A
Program for You : A Guide to the Big Book
A very readable,
thorough, and helpful overview of the AA Big Book. This is actually
a textual version of the well known weekend long Big Book Study
seminars given by two gentlemen who shall remain anonymous as in the
book. I found this to be a great way to delve into the Big Book
again and look at it in a structured fashion. Once you are finished
with this book you will have learned about the history of AA, the
history of the Big Book, read the Big Book, and actually studied the
Big Book.
The
tradition and wisdom associated with the twelve step AA program has
been captured in this comprehensive guide. Practical suggestions for
staying sober, summaries of AA principles, concepts, and slogans,
and a historical overview help the reader understand the spirit of
the program.

Is Not A River In Egypt delivers dose after dose of the best
medicine. Embellished with whimsical hieroglyphics, these

acceptance, healing and laughter will brighten the day of readers in
