When I happened across a copy of this book recently, I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful illustrations which, for me, blended spiritually with the time-honored tradition of the original twelve steps. This is also true of the additional quotes from famous people that are included in this very simple, yet precious volume.

I'm assuming that this is basically the same book as Frank Buchman: a life by the same author which is out of print. It's a very through and well researched book about the life of a remarkable man, gives one a different world view from the late twenties right up to the sixties and explains what a life of faith really means. Could have been a little more critical but still a very intresting book, not a typical christian read.
