History & item details
A.A.’s Archives newsletter Markings has documented the book’s popularity among early members, drawing on a 1954 recorded conversation between Bill Wilson and Dorothy, Clarence Snyder’s wife. That evidence helps explain why Fox’s work continues to hold a place in recovery collections alongside the Big Book, even though it is a separate spiritual work rather than an A.A. publication.
Fox approaches the Sermon as a practical guide to an inward change of outlook. The book’s appeal for a collector lies in that relationship between reading and living: the effort to carry a spiritual understanding beyond the page. This copy was issued by Grosset & Dunlap by arrangement with Harper & Brothers. Its copyright dates are 1934, 1935 and 1938; an exact printing date is not stated.
