Testimonials
"A
masterly book. Dick B. has fully converted me to his use of
quotations to show the parallels between the Oxford Group and
the statements of Bill W., Dr. Bob and A.A. literature
generally. Dick evidences a power of summarizing the aims of a
book in a few lines with much clarity."
Garth
D. Lean, Author of On the Tail of a Comet (the life of Oxford
Group founder, Dr. Frank N.D. Buchman)
"Dick
B. has the capacity and commitment to go to the very
wellsprings of A.A. and, through brilliant and painstaking
research,
to bring the real inspiration of its roots to today's
living."
James
D. and Eleanor Newton, Authors of Uncommon Friends and The
Guidance of God; Oxford Group activists for 70 years; Friends
of Frank Buchman and Sam Shoemaker
"What
Dick is doing with his research and development of books is of
utmost importance. Design for Living is a first rate example.
Without a spiritual commitment
to God and His guidance, most people in A.A. will not make it.
It's regrettable more do not see this.."
Jim
H., A.A. Oldtimer (63 years), Moral
Re-Armament Board Member, and friend of A.A. co-founder, Bill
Wilson

"THE
OXFORD GROUP & ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS - A Design for Living
that Works!"
by Dick B.
Scholarly,
comprehensive, unique! A.A. was an integral part of the Oxford
Group in the early 1930's, and this book contains the only
study of the Oxford Group's contributions to early A.A.'s Big
Book, Twelve Steps, and Fellowship. You will find here the
Oxford Group's Biblical roots, the origin of its ideas,
details on its beliefs and practices, its influence on early
A.As and their high success rate, and where its concepts can
be found in today's A.A.
Foreword
by Rev. T. Willard Hunter; author, columnist, Oxford Group
activist; former Assistant to the President of the School of
Theology at Claremont, California.
