Synopsis
The author shows conclusively that A.A.'s program of recovery came
primarily from the Bible. This is a history of A.A.'s biblical roots as they can be seen
in A.A.'s Big Book, Twelve Steps, and Fellowship.

A title meeting specific needs for historical accuracy
As I prepared to attend my first international A.A. Convention in Seattle in 1990, I
was determined to find out A.A.'s roots in the Bible. I had previously been told that
A.A.'s founder Dr. Bob had said the basic ideas came from the Bible. And I had read DR.
BOB and the Good Oldtimers, an A.A. Conference Approved Book. To be sure, there was strong
evidence that A.A.'s ideas were grounded on the philosophy in Jesus's Sermon on the Mount.
Both founders (Bill and Dr. Bob) had said so. Also, both had acknowledged the three prime
sources of A.A. ideas: the Book of James, 1 Corinthians 13, and Matthew 5 to 7 (the Sermon
and the Lord's Prayer). But, alas, the details had been obliterated, and apparently by
specific elimination, piece by piece. Therefore, it became necessary to analyze A.A.
literature, A.A. archives, and materials in possession of such A.A. sources as Anne
Smith's Journal, Sam Shoemaker's teachings, the Oxford Group, and early meditation books
and Christian literature in order to find precisely which ideas the pioneers studied. Then
it was necessary to locate those ideas in A.A. literature. And finally, it was vital not
to guess or speculate, but rather to document the ideas. Moreover, I have found these
ideas on God, prayer, healing, Christian principles,the power of God, deliverance,
forgiveness, and love to be vital for sustained recovery in A.A. This particular title,
therefore, focuses on the Bible and A.A. If you want specifics rather than interpretations
and guesses, I believe you will find this book most useful. It can help Christians in
A.A., those in A.A. who want to know their history, th ose who want to understand A.A.
ideas and why the success rate was so high in early A.A. Clergy, churches, sponsors,
counselors, and scholars can benefit from this specific study.

Book Description
Early A.A. derived its spiritual ideas from six major sources: (1)
Bible. (2) Quiet Time. (3) the teachings of the Rev. Sam Shoemaker of New York. (4) The
life-changing program of the Oxford Group. (5) Anne Smith's Journal (kept by the wife of
A.A.co-founder Dr. Bob. (6) The Christian literature early AAs studied to develop their
program. This particular title has been revised, is now in its second edition, and is
priced at $16.95. It tells exactly where the idea of Quiet Time came from in the Bible,
how it developed through the ages, how A First Century Christian Fellowship (of which A.A.
was a part) used it, how it was used in A.A. through Bible study, prayer, listening, use
of helpful books, and use of devotionals such as The Upper Room. This is a valuable book
for those who wish to observe Quiet Time as early AAs did ("a must") and observe
it in a way that will involve something more than looking at a tiny squib for a minute or
two in the morning. Paradise Res! earch Publications, Inc.
Synopsis
A practical guide to Quiet Time--considered a "must" in early
A.A. Discusses biblical roots, history, helpful books, and how to.
About the Author
Dick B. is an active, recovered A.A. member, a retired attorney, and a
Bible student. He has sponsored more than eighty men in their recovery. In 1990, he began
researching, traveling, interviewing, and reading thousands of pages of the books early
AAs read as they were developing their program. He has now written thirteen titles on all
facets of A.A. "spirituality." In early A.A., spirituality meant dependence upon
God, the Creator. A.A. was a Christian fellowship. Its pioneers studied the Bible, prayed
together, listened for guidance together, listened to the teachings of Dr. Bob's wife
(Anne Ripley Smith), and utilized devotionals such as The Upper Room. From this, the
author has learned and written about A.A.'s six major roots: the Bible, Quiet Time, the
teachings of Sam Shoemaker, the life-changing program of the Oxford Group, Anne Smith's
Journal, and Quiet Time. Dick has been called "A.A.'s unofficial historian" by
reviewers and by one distinguised pastoral counselor who has written many books on Twelve
Step programs and the ministry. His aim has been to bring back for review and, where
desired, the adoption of the Bible principles and practices of the 1930's when A.A. was
highly successful, had a 75 to 93% success rate, and relied upon the power of God for
help.
