Book Reviews of Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions

Book Review: Never too late to learn and factor in our real A.A. history
Summary: 3 Stars

My long experience as an active, recovered AA and as an unofficial A.A. historian is that you can fly into lots of flack when you mention Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions in A.A. today. Some don't know what it is. Some won't read it. Some believe it conflicts with the Big Book. Some recognize that it was edited by two Jesuit priests, Father John C. Ford and Father Ed Dowling, and some will passionately espouse and/or defend the book as valuable to all AAs and those taking or teaching the Steps.
I think the best starting place is to learn our history.Real Twelve Step Fellowship History. This means learning where A.A. came from and what its Christian roots were. The Akron Genesis of Alcoholics Anonymous. It means learning what the original Akron A.A. program was.The Oxford Group & Alcoholics Anonymous: A Design for Living that Works, The Good Book and the Big Book: A.A.'s Roots in the Bible (Bridge Builders Edition). It means learning how much the original program was altered by Bill Wilson when he wrote the Big Book.Turning Point: A History of Early A.A.'s Spiritual Roots and Successes . It means knowing how many new people, new factors, and new approaches were introduced in the 1940's and early 1950's when: (a) Bill Wilson was deeply depressed. (b)Others such as Clarence Snyder, Sister Ignatia, Father Dowling, Richmond Walker, Father Ralph Pfau, Ed Webster, and others tried to fill the gap.Twelve Steps for You: Take the Twelve Steps with the Big Book, A.A. History, and the Good Book at Your Side. (c) How Dr. Bob dealt with the gap and uncertainty by fostering publication of the four AA of Akron pamphlets.Dr. Bob of Alcoholics Anonymous: His Excellent Training in the Good Book As a Youngster in Vermont.(d) What happened at the time that Anne Smith and Dr. Bob died and the General Service Conference were born.The First Nationwide Alcoholics Anonymous History Conference, 2d ed. (e) How, why, and by whom the Twelve and Twelve was written.
In short, we all need to learn our history before we start the rock throwing, opining, or embracing. And that's the best I can suggest for this book, other than that the readers take the time to learn our history and then decide on the importance, value, and message of the 12 x 12.
