But for the Grace of God is a book that was born from a journal. After years of studying the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and daily devotionals, a real connection was made. This book takes passages directly out of the book Alcoholics Anonymous and puts them next to scripture from the Bible. There is no intent to advocate for religion in your life. A spiritual connection is what is hoped will be achieved. Setting aside everything we think we know for an open mind is essential to have an experience with the words in this book. The author has included a short interpretation and his own experience with each page. There is a consideration at the end of each reading for the reader to contemplate their own experience. The book is themed with the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and the spiritual principles attached to each step. The goal is for you to see how the principles of recovery are laid out to us in many forms and, if understood from a personal perspective, can be very effective in the lives of recovering people who are in search of a real personal connection with the God of their own understanding. Opening the pages of this book can either encourage, enlighten, or expand your journey to a real personal relationship with God.
