Turning Point
Discover the spiritual power of early A.A.; why it achieved
astonishing success in the 1930s; and how its history of
reliance on God can be used for recovery today. "The turning
point" for A.A. pioneers was the surrender in which they
placed themselves unreservedly in God's hands for recovery
and deliverance. Turning Point will help you understand how
A. A. pioneers put together the diverse principles of their
astonishingly successful recovery program from the Bible,
Sam Shoemaker's teachings, the Oxford Group, Anne Smith's
journal, Christian literature of the day... It contains
specific practical suggestions for using the history today.
- Available for half price, please send $14 per book.

That Amazing Grace:
The Role of Clarence and Grace S. In Alcoholics
Anonymous
This is the story of the beloved wife, companion, and
willing student of A.A.'s venerable pioneer Clarence
S....The story is important because, at the time of his
death in 1984, Clarence was the AA with the most
sobriety and was known as a 'founder' of A.A. ... having
started the first meeting using the name of the Big
Book. He, along with Grace, helped thousands take their
Twelve Steps, recover and find Jesus Christ as their
Lord and Savior. Grace here recalls the history of early
A.A.'s spiritual roots and successes as Clarence
specifically related them to her. She also tells of the
spiritual retreat for A. A. people that Clarence
founded.
- Normally $16.95. Available from Came To Believe for
$11 each.

The Good Book and The Big
Book
Same cover graphics as TURNING POINT but different
title/topics. This comprehensive history discusses the
biblical sources from which A.A.'s founders said they
obtained their recovery ideas — focusing particularly on the
Sermon on the Mount, 1 Corinthians 13, and the Book of
James. For many AA's, the Bible was the standard of truth
upon which they could depend for the power and guidance that
they needed in their lives. Author Dick B. — an active,
recovered member of A.A., a Bible student, and a sponsor of
over seventy men in their recovery — here shows how a
knowledge of A.A.'s Good Book roots can be used effectively
to produce a high recovery rate in Today's Twelve Step
programs.
This great book can be found online by visiting the
AA History Bookstore website.

How to Live Like a
Kings Kid
Harold Hill was a man who began experiencing the joys of
childhood in middle age, after he had risen to executive
status. His success was stupendous, but it nearly cost
him his life. Hal was a "hopeless" alcoholic, his wife
was in a mental institution, and their only daughter
deeply suicidal.
After a failed suicide attempt, Hal found himself in an
Alcoholics Anonymous meeting within the week.
Immediately Hal and Jesus began a continuing
conversation which was to last throughout eternity.
"Lord, can I live in a state of continuous victory in
the midst of all this adversity?" He complained. "Yes,"
answered the Lord, and led him throughout the pages of
the Manufacturer's Handbook, the Holy Bible.
These Scriptures spoke loud and clear. "I knew the
Number One hindrance to victorious living is the
'Paralysis of Analysis' caused by a sick computer riding
astride our shoulders, the rational commonsense mind,
the Educated Idiot Box, the EIB".
How To Live Like A King's Kid has been a great blessing
to many readers. I recommend it especially to those who
complain that the things of the Spirit are foolishness.
In this book the Lord speaks in contemporary language
through his servant in the jargon of mechanical
engineering. May God bless everyone who reads this book.
