The James Club and the Original A.A. Program's Absolute Essentials Paperback – June 20, 2008

Excellent

This historian is the only one that claims the Christian Endeavor and not the Oxford Group shaped the early program and he spends time on weird things like whether that dr.bob was cured or not even though we know he never claimed it so definitely not my favorite author for aa history. He claims the other historians are revisionist but he has no documentation for his version just circular logic.

Dick B is a wonderful author. I found this book to be an inspiration. He very clearly explains the biblical beginnings from the early days of AA and explains why the current AA groups are not obtaining the same results. I highly recomend him.

Liked just fine

Well researched and very informative. Dick B. is my favorite author on the history of AA. The real deal.

Very good. Hand out these books to friends. Many others have read and learned from book.

Good book

Historic information that few in recovery ever hear.
