Path 1 — "I want to understand what A.A. was originally built on"

Start here:

• The Good Book and The Big Book — The direct Biblical parallels to A.A.'s Twelve Steps
• New Light on Alcoholism — The Oxford Group's influence on Bill Wilson and early A.A.
• Dr. Bob and His Library — The books Dr. Bob read and how they shaped the program

These three titles give you the clearest, fastest overview of how Scripture and Christian fellowship formed the DNA of early A.A.

Path 2 — "I'm a pastor, counselor, or Christian recovery leader"

Start here:

• Turning Point — A comprehensive history of the spiritual roots of A.A.
• The Golden Text of A.A. — How the Sermon on the Mount shaped the Steps
• By the Power of God — A.A.'s early reliance on God and the Bible

These volumes give you the scholarly depth and historical documentation to teach and counsel with confidence.

Path 3 — "I or someone I love is in recovery and I want a Christian foundation"

Start here:

• God and Alcoholism — A direct, readable case for God-centered recovery
• When Early AAs Were Cured — What actually happened in early A.A. and why it worked
• Why Early A.A. Succeeded — The Biblical principles behind the early recoveries

Personal, powerful, and grounded in history — the ideal entry point for someone in or supporting recovery.

Path 4 — "I want the complete record — all 31 volumes"

The complete 31-volume reference set is the only way to own the full, permanent, scholarly record of God's role in early A.A. Every volume contributes something the others don't. Together they form a library no Christian recovery worker, historian, or serious student of A.A. should be without.

The set is available as a complete collection for $297 with free U.S. shipping.
