Description
In 1934, Victor Constant Kitchen published I Was a Pagan, a personal narrative describing his discovery of the Oxford Group and the profound spiritual transformation it brought to his life. The book is one of the most valuable contemporary accounts of the Oxford Group’s central beliefs and practices, including house parties, confession, moral inventory, quiet time, and spiritual guidance. Kitchen also provides vivid descriptions of the spiritual experiences of group members.
This volume is especially significant for collectors of Alcoholics Anonymous history, as the Oxford Group played a formative role in shaping AA’s spiritual approach. I Was a Pagan offers direct insight into the principles that AA’s founders encountered and adapted, making it both a religious and recovery collectible of enduring importance.
