Rev. Ken B., M.A., is the son of the late Dick B. (J.D., CDAAC, 1925–2015), the “unofficial historian of Alcoholics Anonymous.” Ken holds a B.A. in Rhetoric from U.C. Berkeley (1977) and an M.A. in Speech Communication from San Francisco State University (1991), and was ordained as a Christian minister in 1997. He worked closely with his dad from 1990 until Dick’s passing on September 12, 2015—editing, researching, traveling, and speaking; and co-authoring three volumes in The Dick B. A.A. History Reference Set.

Since 2015, Ken has served as Owner and President of Good Book Publishing Company, Vice President and General Manager of Paradise Research Publications, Inc., and Executive Director of the International Christian Recovery Coalition. He carries forward Dick B.’s 31-volume legacy through scholarly research and ongoing publishing—including the planned five-volume Recovery Reformation Series—and an A.A. history research assistant designed to make Dick B.’s research broadly accessible.

Ken’s mission, in his own words: “I carry forward this work because it glories GOD and His Son Jesus Christ, and honors my dad’s legacy of helping those who still suffered.” Learn more at DickBonRecovery.com.
