A must read for the entire recovering community and family!
In his book THE STEPS WE TOOK Joe McQ showed me just how easy it is to "Keep It, (The 12 Steps), Simple" by very clearly stating the intent and purpose of The "Big Book". His insights and knowledge of The "Big Book" have since helped me to not only turn my life around but to also understand and appreciate such to the point where I have been able to help numerous other "members" of the recovering community by simply suggesting that they read his book. It would be virtually impossible for me to even begin to describe how important this book is and how many times I have quoted it's content. A guy I sponsor who knew how much Joe McQ's book meant to me had the "bridge" in THE STEPS WE TOOK copied, matted and framed. He then gave such to me as a Christmas gift. After about 4 years, Joe McQ's bridge still hangs in a very prominant place in our home today. I believe that if Bill W. were alive today, he too would recommend Joe McQ's book.

Practical Instruction For Working The Steps
This book is a classic. Joe McQ clearly understands theimplication and application of AA's spiritual program of action. Ihighly recommend this book. -- Frank D., Author of The Annotated AAHandbook.

Absolutely unnecessary
Just follow the instructions in the Big Book. Theirs is not a helpful approach, and you are likely to get off track with the basic objectives of the AA program. Much of this is trite, some is dead wrong and a lot of it just has little to do with the Steps but a lot to do with their opinions and religious views. That's my experience after watching people struggle with the Joe and Charlie material over my 19 years of sobriety. Similar Products
