By the Power of God: A Guide to Early A.A. Groups and Forming Similar Groups Today
Author Dick B. begins with his own tentative and defiant entry into AA and lets us learn as he learned and healed. Then he takes us into the minds and writings of the founders and early stalwarts of AA. Next, he puts together the Source, the history and the Steps to show how inextricably they are entwined. And finally he discusses the desire he sees for groups like the early Pioneer Groups whose meetings were based in a combination of Bible study and AA, and he provides some guidelines to create such groups. Another fine book in his growing list of such achievements.... --Audrey DeLaMartre, The Phoenix, March, 1999
