The Silver Book Of Attitudes By Father John Doe(Ralph Pfau) - 1St Printing

The Silver Book of Attitudes by Father John Doe(Ralph Pfau). This is a first printing from March 1949. This book is in good condition. This book was formerly owned by a rehabilitation center, there are two stamps on the front page from this facility. There are no other markings or writing in the book. There is a small amount of wear and aging to the book, most noticeably the edging and corners of the front and back covers. The book is fully intact with no torn or missing pages. The Golden Books series is composed of fourteen booklets written by the late Father Ralph Pfau, known originally as Father "John Doe" who was an immensely popular lecturer and author. These treasured booklets offer thoughtful, positive advice on almost every human experience. Helpful in examining character defects or in exploring the realm of spirituality, these booklets are firmly grounded in the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. Father Ralph Pfau was the third most published early A.A. author (only Bill Wilson the founder and Richmond Walker had more books out in print), and was the first Roman Catholic priest to get sober in A.A. He was born in Indianapolis, educated at St.Meinrad Archabbey in southern Indiana, and served Catholic churches all over Indianapolis, as well as other towns in Indiana. After taking up full time A.A. work, he made his headquarters in three rooms at the Convent of the Good Shepherd in Indianapolis, with three nuns serving as his secretaries and assistants. Early A.A. people from the South Bend area traveled to attend his weekend A.A. spiritual retreats, and formed study groups to read his books. Please view all of the photos for the conditions.
