Product Description

With delightful humor, this work covers the serious matter of recovery from alcoholism. In letters to a fellow devil, Glumlot writes about his attempts in tempting a human away from A.A., sobriety, and recovery. By describing what the other side is planning, this book offers a practical application of AAÕs Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, and a revitalizing approach to universal spiritual principles that are the basis for a relationship with a Higher Power.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Glumlot Letters, November 18, 2001

By A Customer

An excellent book that is very cleverly written.If you are like me and you came to the fellowship with no idea of;
(a)the cunning, baffling, nature of alcoholism.
(b)of how to name different types of emotions and feelings
then this book is of enormous help.(or it was to me anyway!)
It also hit home in a number of ways especially with its side comments on the behaviour of some members of the fellowship.It gave me a bit of a kick up the backside as to how I contribute to meetings and how I treat people who are new to the fellowship. Definitely a good read!

If you love to laugh you must have this book. Great reading for those with a few 24 hours. I have shared a few parts of this book with some people I sponsor, they could not stop laughing. Wonderful way to get people to open up. Superway to get a meeting going.

Excellent reading for those that have an already grasp of the Steps. Light hearted easy reading with many good things to revisit with a 180 degree twist.
