The Varieties Of Religious Experience

This book was written by the psychologist William James, and was read by Dr. Bob. The version present was not the actual copy used by Dr. Bob, but was held in the collection, at the archive next door.

From this book came the concepts of a higher power of our own understanding, the notion of an educational variety of spiritual experience, and many other common parts of the AA program.

Having read this book, I have come to believe that Dr. Bob was a deep thinker indeed. I am grateful that he and others were able to consume, digest, and extrapolate the pertinent information, and to simplify concepts expressed. It was one of the most arduous reads in my life.
