Twenty-Four Hours A Day

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.

We read these devotionals at the area AA meetings. I bought this for a new man, and older guy like me. The print is larger than the small hardbound and I'm glad to say he keeps it with him.

There are several typographical errors in the online version I purchased.

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 read this book as a kick start to the day. Coupled with prayer and meditation it keeps me on track one day at a time.

This is an awesome meditation book to read on a daily basis before your on the go.I recommend this to everyone inside and outside of friends of Bill.

Book is in awesome shape, plus I received it earlier than it was anticipated I would !!!Thank You !!!!

A helpful daily companion to keep on the beam. One of my favorite morning habits is reading along in this journey for a life worth living in sobriety.

Love this book, great morning read to you get spiritually connected.

Inspiring daily read for any alcoholic in recovery.

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

Nice

I buy these books to give to friends, all in recovery. You want help? buy Twenty- Four Hours A Day. Eddie
