Twenty-Four Hours a Day — Hazelden | 1996 HarperCollins Paperback
Offered here is a 1996 fifth printing of the HarperCollins paperback edition of Twenty-Four Hours a Day, published as a Hazelden Book. The blue-purple pictorial wrappers carry the title within a yellow border.
Compiled by Richmond Walker, this daily meditation work became a familiar companion to Twelve Step recovery through Hazelden’s publication from 1954 onward. Its sequence of thought, meditation, and prayer encourages a daily practice of reflection and living one day at a time.
The first HarperCollins paperback edition appeared in 1992. This copy carries the number line “96 10 9 8 7 6 5,” identifying the later 1996 fifth printing. Its foreword acknowledges material from A.A. literature and the influence of God Calling, edited by A. J. Russell, placing the book within a wider tradition of recovery and devotional reading.
