The Dick B. A.A. History Reference Set:
31 Volumes of Forensic Research
on the Christian Roots of Alcoholics Anonymous

The Christian recovery world’s permanent, irreplaceable record of the roles God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Bible played in early A.A.’s astonishing success — and the most powerful resource for every Christian recovery worker today.

This is not a general A.A. history. It is the most thorough scholarly record of what Dick B. called “the rest of the story” — the Biblical foundations, the Oxford Group connections, the role of the Scriptures in Akron, and the focus of the program on God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Bible that produced A.A.’s earliest and most remarkable results.

There is no comparable resource anywhere in the world. The Dick B. A.A. History Reference Set is the only comprehensive scholarly collection documenting the roles God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Bible played in early Alcoholics Anonymous — assembled across 25 years of forensic historical research into one 31-volume reference set.
