came to believe (red book) A.A. spiritual adventure..
 
i bought the book "came to believe" just after my first year sober.. it is an excellent book of peoples story's of how they as struggling alcoholics (found god) came to believe.. it is what i needed back then.. and still need to remember today i do not need to understand everything in order to remain sober!

"Seek not to understand so that you may believe, but believe that you may understand" St Augustine

Understanding is not necessary for belief, but faith and trust are.

Thanks for sharing!:ghug3

I treasure my "24 Hours A Day" from Hazelton.
It was so inspiring in my early recovery.

When I post the Daily Readings
in our Alcoholism 12 Step Support Forum
I can enjoy it again...:yup:

We, non-theistic types, would agree with that statement as well. :)

That book had a huge impact on me!

I love all of my recovery books in their own way.....while I don't agree with anything....it is still nice to read about people who also went through what I went through and ended their suffering as well.
