Not God (Soft Cover) by Ernie Kurtz

Many history buffs consider "Not God" to be the most complete history of the birth of the A.A. program and examination of its spiritual underpinnings. Heavily researched at Stepping Stones, the book contains anecdotes and excerpts from the diaries, correspondence, and memoirs of A.A.'s early members. A fascinating, in-depth account of the development of the first 12-Step program and fellowship known today as Alcoholics Anonymous.
