Book Reviews:
- Very well written.
- I have given away several copies of this book, and own one of my own, which I enjoy re-reading. Many people struggling with addictions also have difficulty with Alcoholics Anonymous’ emphasis on a “higher power” (generally conceived as “God”). This book serves the important function of introducing a non-theistic (non-“God”-based) approach to AA, and to a personal meditative practice.
