Twenty-Four Hours A Day

This is great spiritual book you can ready every day. The price was right, it arrived on time, and I would recommend this seller.

Wonderful book which encompasses thought, meditation and prayer. Love it

Love the size of the paperback! It is easy to locate when stored with the other books.

This book in general is something we should all take 5 minutes to ponder every morning. Its about life, not recovery.

Richmond Walker was an early AA member from Boston Massachusetts. Richmond compiled the book by rewriting an earlier work God Calling by “Two Listeners” author unknown, edited by AJ Russell. Richmond removed most of the Christian references and added his own experience, strength and hope. He organized each day into Thought for Today, Meditation for Today, and Prayer for Today. The 24 Hour book was published and distributed by author, with the help of his winter AA Home Group in Daytona, Florida and 10’s of thousands were sold by mail order. Around 1955 Richmond offered to give the book to Bill W. and AA but it was not accepted because the 12 x 12 book was being published and money was tight, and also because it was seen as too specifically Christian and therefore, exclusive. Richmond then offered to give it to Hazlden who accepted it and continued its’ publication to the present day.

I have enjoyed this daily meditation for years! It is not, however, my favorite meditation book. Reliable but not outstanding!

It's a very good publication with daily reminders to living a day at a time.......spiritually and through AA. Make no mistake, this book is used by people in AA and for people who believe in God/a Higher power. I think if you're a spiritual person suffering from an addiction and if you can get past the occasional references to being in AA and you substitute your addiction for alcohol it's a great daily reminder to take things one day at a time. And in reality that's all anyone really has whether you're suffering from an addiction or not.

I’m a recovering alcoholic and this book is wonderful. It has helped me so much in my recovery. I read it every morning for my prayer and meditation to my higher power. I feel so much closer and peaceful to God

Here is some excellent guidance to start the day with.

Much better/ less religious than AA's Daily Reflections.

It can really be a very inspiring book to anyone. I've never had problems with alcohol, but Duran Duran's bass guitarist shared a passage in a blog and I loved it. Bought the Kindle version and it turned out to be exactly what I needed to change many views and attitudes for better. Perfect for those who lost their faith in something higher or can't fit into a specific religion but want (or need) to connect to a higher power. And I also got to understand alcoholism better and have more respect for people who have this problem. One of the most useful books I've ever read.

I’ve had this little book for years and it’s constantly a source of inspiration with snippets from the big book.

Great book , I leave it on my nightstand and start my days with it...
