Books like Bill W by Francis Hartigan


"When Bill Wilson, with his friend Dr. Bob Smith, founded Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935, his hope was that AA would become a safe haven for those who suffer from this disease. Thirty years after his death, AA continues to help millions of alcoholics recover from what had been commonly regarded as a hopeless addiction. AA is now approaching its sixty-fifth anniversary and can be found in more than 140 countries worldwide where an estimated two million people attend their meetings each week. It was Wilson who created the steps of the now famous twelve-step program that has become the cornerstone of every recovery program today."--BOOK JACKET.

The soul of sponsorship by 10949340|Fitzgerald, Robert book cover

📘 The soul of sponsorship
 by Fitzgerald, Robert

*The Soul of Sponsorship* explores the relationship of Bill Wilson, cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous, and his spiritual adviser and friend, Father Ed Dowling, and Irish Catholic Jesuit priest who limped with a cane into a New York AA clubhouse one sleet-filled November night in 1940. Bill's relationship with Father Ed had an profound, positive effect on his life and his writings for AA. It was through Father Ed that Bill learned to listen to his desires, be aware of the inner dynamics, and time in to the action of God within. These two "fellow travelers" blessed each other with perhaps the greatest figt that friends can give one another: calling on each other to know who he is- before God.
