One Thing I Know — A. J. Russell (1933)

First Printing · Hodder & Stoughton, London · Hardcover w/ Original Dust Jacket

Description

Offered here is a beautiful 1933 first printing of One Thing I Know by A. J. Russell—a highly desirable early Oxford Group title, and an essential companion for collectors of pre-A.A./Oxford Group literature.

Russell is best known for For Sinners Only, one of the landmark memoirs associated with the Oxford Group movement. In One Thing I Know, he returns in the same candid, approachable voice—sharing a series of frank, often humorous “confessions” and reflections that capture the spiritual and practical outlook that made his writing so widely read in the early 1930s. It’s personal, conversational, and remarkably readable—exactly the kind of book that helped carry the Oxford Group message beyond meetings and into everyday homes.

For recovery-history collectors, Oxford Group books like this one matter because they represent the wider spiritual atmosphere and “life-changing literature” culture that influenced many early A.A. people before Alcoholics Anonymous had a large body of its own printed material.
