"A beautiful testimony to AA's living history." Ernest Kurtz, author, Not God: A History of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Inside the book:
Part 1: Twenty alternative versions of the 12 Steps reflecting a wide range of perspectives.
Part 2: Four interpretations of each of the Steps by well-known authors.
After each of these parts, there are templates so the reader can write her or his own personal 12 Steps and an interpretation of each one of them.
Part 3: An essay that traces the origins of the AA 12 Step recovery program.
The Little Book is a celebration of the many ways people are today adapting and interpreting the original 12 Steps in order to achieve a "personality change sufficient to bring about recovery from alcoholism".
