Description
He Touched Me (1985) is a compelling collection of eighteen conversion stories written and compiled by Irving Harris, founder of Faith at Work magazine. Within its pages are first-person accounts and biographical sketches of individuals whose lives were transformed by a profound spiritual encounter — among them:

Bruce Larson – pastor and author known for his practical Christian teachings
Ernest Gordon – WWII POW and author of Miracle on the River Kwai
Bill Wilson – co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous
Helen Shoemaker, Sam Shoemaker, and many more
One of the highlights for AA collectors is “The Story of A.A.’s Bill Wilson” (Chapter Ten), a concise and heartfelt retelling of Bill W.’s early life, spiritual struggle, and path to co-founding Alcoholics Anonymous.
The book closes with an epilogue by Samuel M. Shoemaker, the influential Oxford Group minister whose teachings profoundly shaped AA’s Twelve Steps.
