Paul: Thanks so much for writing. Your experiences and your direction
are in total harmony with what our 23 years of research and writing have now
produced. Christian men and women are rising up around the world to show the
role that God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Bible played in the origins,
history, founding, original Christian Fellowship program founded in Akron in 1935, and can and should play today. They don’t
want to leave A.A. They do want to be ambassadors for Christ who stand on their
right to express and share their experience freely and help newcomers find God
through Christ and live according to the Word if they want to.
We’d like to help you get under way. My son Ken and I leave tomorrow for
a week of meetings and conferences in Orange County, California on this very
topic. If you are in that area, we would love to see you and meet with you. See
www.ChristianRecoveryCoalition.com
for the program and mission. Also, we have just produced and are offering 29
videos for $29.95 to be downloaded and used by individuals, groups, meetings,
fellowships, talks, sponsoring, and conducting classes and Christian recovery
fellowships. See www.ChristianRecoveryRadio.com.
Keep in mind that we will be on the road for a week and quite busy, but
you certainly can email and also contact us through Ken’s cellular 808 276
4945.
Meanwhile, I have asked my son Ken to send you materials which will tell
you how to start.
I look forward to keeping in touch with
you.

Subject: Feeling a calling
Dick,
I have BB&GB and just bought Dr Bob's library. I am a fan. I
have 24 years sobriety, been very active in AA, am very interested in AA roots
/ history, Oxford Group etc.....
I have been torn for a number of years feeling like there are
large numbers in AA meetings that have been plucked from the
icy waters after sinking on the Titantic, but the rescue ship is the
Andrea Doria! If you don't have Christ, your salvation is physical and
temporary, and I think I am being called to minister to the recovery
movement as to the identity of the only real Higher Power.
I am conflicted and praying and meditating for Gods direction
daily. I have had some revelation and have a few ideas down on paper that I am
excited about. I would love to visit with you about your calling, and having
the courage to follow Christ into uncertain territories.
Any chance I could call you? Please forward number and times if
you are open to that.
Thanks,
Hey Paul! What an awesome calling!! Dick b is a great guy to talk to and learn from. We have learned much from him and we now run a recovery ministry at Southland bible. You can look us up on facebook churchhttps://www.facebook.com/dead2selfALIVEnCHRISTrecovery
