Details: God and Alcoholism presents a new challenge for the 21st Century. It is a study of the original and highly successful spiritual recovery program of early Alcoholics Anonymous and the changes that have occurred in the last six decades since the founding. It presents the seven specifics, the "musts," and the "not required" features of the pioneer program. It points to A.A.'s merits and accomplishments in the 20th Century, particularly its success through reliance on the Creator, its pride in producing "cures," and its challenges to finding definitions for "alcoholism." Next, the author describes the enormous emphasis early AAs placed on the power of Almighty God, the views of scholars about that, and the Biblical assurances of help from the "Heavenly Father." Then there is a review of the "nonsense gods" of recovery and the wide attraction they've had for therapists, 12 Steppers, clergy, psychologists, and others. The author concludes with a challenge to eliminate! the dismal recovery rate today by recalling, re-affirming, and reinstating the God-centered program of the Founders, Bill W. and Dr. Bob.
