The Pulpit Digest from June 1940.

This booklet includes a short advertisement for the Alcoholics Anonymous big book. This was at a time when AA book sales were still moving very slowly. This was one year after the book had first been published and still a little less than a year before the second printing was published in March 1941 at the same time the Jack Alexander article in the Saturday Evening Post. Alcoholics Anonymous was doing their best to gain publicity and book sales through small articles and advertisements like this.

The advertisement reads:

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS

PRICE $3.50

HERE is the remarkable story of how more than one hundred men have recovered from alcoholism. People from all walks of life tell how they have been rescued from a drunkard's grave by faith in God. Some of them squandered fortunes, were claimed to be incurable by scientists, and were dismissed uncured from hospitals, yet by getting right with God through confession, prayer and correcting wrongs they have found a cure. This is a book on modern miracles, which testifies to the power of God to do the apparently impossible and to change helpless lives. This book should be made available to every American home. A. L. M.”

This book is in fair condition and has undergone tape repairs to the cover, spine, binding to hold it together.
