Download or read book Dr Bob and His Library written by Dick B. and published by Good Book Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the earliest and most valuable discoveries by author Dick B. in his search for the facts about the early A.A. program, which had such great successes, was the many, varied, and important Christian and other books read, studied, and circulated by A.A. Cofounder Dr. Bob among early AAs and their families. These are of great importance and utility today if you are to be healed of alcoholism. They cover the Bible, Jesus Christ, prayer, healing, alcoholism, daily devotions, Quiet Time, the Oxford Group, Rev. Samuel M. Shoemaker, conversion, and other relevant religious topics. Dick discovered the books in the homes of Dr. Bob's children, read and analyzed and categorized them, and placed them in this title. Other books were mentioned elsewhere as having been read and circulated by Dr. Bob, and are included.

Download or read book Real Twelve Step Fellowship History written by Dick B. and published by Good Book Publishing Company. This book was released on 2006 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Put Your 12-Step Speakers, Sponsors, and Counselors to Work!You may regularly listen to excellent speakers, sponsors, and counselors in 12-Step programs. Chances are, however, that they probably rarely, if ever, talk to you about the origins, history, and practices of early pioneer recovery programs.Why?Because there are few histories to inform them; few teachers to instruct them; and too few people who really want to change. Speakers can get lots of applause if they stick to their drunkalogs, and make you laugh, cry, and maybe identify. Sponsors have few resources that connect the dots. Counselors feel safer telling you about your disease and taking the safe path--handing out a Big Book, a Twelve x Twelve, and a devotional and sending you to outside groups and meetings.What does this, our book, say? It says that it is high time to take these talented and admired people to the schoolroom. Three decades ago, there was no place to look. And if one of these people talked about history, he or she usually talked about the party-line that left out God, left out the Bible, left out the sources of the Twelve Steps, and pointed to a program that simply said you didn't really have to believe anything at all--just choose your own "higher power" and go to meetings.We believe the many fine speakers, sponsors, and facilitators can and should get cracking. They should pick up the accurate history books now available, learn from them, and talk about them. Why? Because they can then tell the afflicted exactly how and why the pioneers were cured and had a documented 75% to 93% success rate. And those who teach you can also train you--to look for yourself, think for yourself, and place your reliance on the Creator rather than teachers.This new book tells you our history, how to approach it, how to teach it, and how to use it.
