Twenty-Four Hours A Day

Having the benefit of owning and having used "Twenty-Four Hours A Day" and "Daily Reflections", I find this book a calm bright beacon, a steady light by which to work while "Daily Reflections" is a sputtering candle, uneven and less bright. "Twenty-Four Hours A Day" is now the one for which I reach. I'm not sure where the other is nor frankly do I care.

Note to insiders: It makes absolutely no difference whether any book is "conference approved" or not. The Traditions were written to protect the fellowship from over ambitious sorts who go on rule writing benders. Bill Wilson himself wrote we are free to read whatsoever we want to read. The conference in fact never approved the Big Book's first edition until just very lately when it found a way to make money off the recent reprint. By and large what it approves is what it owns the publishing rights to while keeping absolutely silent about other earlier materials from the era of our most dynamic growth. It's your responsibility to decide what you read, yours and yours alone.

I love this book and have owned many copies because I wear them out. This, however, is a huge book version, definitely not like the others that I've owned. If you're looking for a small, devotional type size then don't buy this.
