Free for your listening pleasure, your own downloads, and your learning information are two live talks recorded by A.A. historian and author Dick B. in October, 2008, just following the Nationwide History Recovery Conference in Southern California with Dick B.
If you go to the audio talks on Dick B.’s main website (
http://www.dickb.com/index.shtml,
you will find two important Alcoholics Anonymous talks by Dick B. at this URL:
http://www.dickb.com/audio-talks8.shtml. One address is called the Heart of A.A. and takes you from the youth of Alcoholics Anonymous cofounders Bill W. and Dr. Bob to the highly successful Alcoholics Anonymous program they founded in Akron on June 10, 1935—the complete details. The other is the Dick B. A.A. Story which not only tells how Alcoholics Anonymous historian and writer Dick B. has put together his nineteen years of A.A. history research and tied it in with his own personal story of what God has done for him as he followed the very trail used by the early AAs themselves in Akron.
This is a first rendition of these facts ever recorded. It certainly touches on Dick’s writings about The Oxford Group and Alcoholics Anonymous, Rev. Sam Shoemaker and Alcoholics Anonymous, The Akron Genesis of Alcoholics Anonymous, The Good Book and The Big Book, Dr. Bob and His Library, Anne Smith’s Journal 1933-1939, Quiet Time, and the religious training of aa counders Dr. Bob and Bill W. All these titles are available on Amazon.com and also are described in detail at
