Description
Offered here is a Seventh Printing (1976) of As Bill Sees It, one of the most enduring and widely read collections of writings by Bill W., co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Originally published in 1967 under the title The A.A. Way of Life, this book gathers hundreds of short excerpts drawn from Bill Wilson’s books, letters, articles, and AA Grapevine contributions. Organized by theme, the selections explore nearly every aspect of recovery and spiritual living, including humility, acceptance, gratitude, service, faith, fear, relationships, and the Twelve Steps.
Designed for meditation, reflection, and group discussion, As Bill Sees It has become a staple in A.A. meetings and personal recovery libraries. Bill himself notes in the foreword that the material reflects his personal viewpoint on A.A.’s way of life, offered with humility and the hope that it would meet a genuine need among members.
By the time of this Seventh Printing, the book was firmly established as one of the Fellowship’s most trusted daily readers.
