Why Alcoholics Anonymous succeeds treating addiction is mysterious. The famous "Big Book" of AA is a genus description of "how" but there is not a single word explaining "why" the program works. Surprisingly, even long time AA members have no idea why "the program" works; nor do Christians. "Why Alcoholics Anonymous Works" is for both audiences. The examination of why AA works is a journey to the ultimate freedom for anyone who undertakes the endeavor. The sobered a few years in AA, or many years in AA, need this book. As a person in recovery it will enhance your thought-life tremendously. You've never considered the truths in these pages. These words freshen sobriety- guaranteed. Turbo charge Steps 10, 11 and 12 For those who enjoyed long-term recovery but relapsed "Why Alcoholics Anonymous Works" will be especially helpful to reestablishing your footing in sobriety. (This book, however, is not for the AA newcomer. If you're an AA newcomer get a sponsor and take the steps. On the third anniversary of your sobriety get a copy.) Unreasonably, AA is not admired by many Christian denominations. No evangelistic effort in history has filled more church pews or sold more Bibles than Alcoholics Anonymous. Jesus said, "you will know them by their fruits." AA fruit is pretty darn fruity. Christians, particularly Christians of the Reformed variety, will be gratified to discover what goes on in the rooms of AA. Alcoholics Anonymous marvelously sustains Scripture. When understood, AA is the most compelling apologetic example of Biblical "righteousness by faith" in modern times, maybe ever.
