PRAYER: The Mightiest Force in the World, by Frank C. Laubach, M.A., Ph.D., D.D. (Fleming H. Revell Co. $1.25)
Quote December 6, 2015
"By 1937, some of us realized that AA needed a standard literature. There would have to be a book ... Well, we did quarrel violently over the preparation and distribution of that book. In fact, it took five years for the clamor to die down. Should any AAs dream that the old-timers who put the book together went about in serene meditation and white robes, then they had best forget it."
AA Co-Founder, Bill W., November 1951 "Services Make AA Tick" The Language of the Heart
