4 Stars Just what I ordered
This book was required for a class I’m in. It is old, but I was thrilled to get it so cheaply. No e-mail from company saying it had been shipped, but it did arrive quickly.
2 Stars small edition 12 and 12
the ad never said that this was the small hard cover edition of the book
5 Stars Thank you Bill
It’s amazing to me the amount of criticism this book generates. I would like to say to anyone seeking answers in AA keep seeking and don’t give up. There are many bitter souls who never obtain sobriety or are so adamant against spirituality that they would try to destroy anyone who is trying to better their life through a spiritual awakening and reliance on God. Do not listen to the scoffers. You will find your way to life and peace.
This book outlines the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and is nothing less than a philosophical tour de force of the AA way of life, how it works, and why it works. It is a wonderfully simple explanation of the alcoholic and the struggles he or she faces in this modern world. It is truly a gift. There are only a handful of books I have ever read that have changed me fundamentally to the core of my being and for the better, this is one of them.
There is a solution, there is a way out, best of wishes to all my fellow alcoholics.
3 Stars “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!”
Although this was the correct book, the cover was not the one that appears online. What I wanted was the content, but I was little disappointed that the cover was not the same.
