Description

The Collected Ernie Kurtz Ernest Kurtz's work is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the history and evolution of Alcoholics Anonymous. As a Ph.D. student at Harvard University, he was granted full access to the archives of Alcoholics Anonymous, allowing him to produce Not-God: A History of Alcoholics Anonymous (1979), a seminal work on early A.A. history. This collection of twelve key articles showcases Kurtz's impressive range and breadth of thought on alcoholism, addiction, and spirituality. His work has given new depth to discussions on shame and guilt, two vital recovery issues. With his unique perspective as historian, gadfly, teacher, interpreter, and master storyteller, Kurtz offers insights that are both informative and engaging. For those interested in the history of Alcoholics Anonymous and the evolution of spirituality in America, this book is a valuable resource.
