Great Cliff Notes to the Big Book

This Joe McQ and Charlie P.'s work. I know because I have listened to their CD's since 2010. Youtube videos since 2018.

This book will help you understand the Big Book better. It really simplified the 12 Steps. The whole purpose of the book.

If you also want more knowledge on the Steps, I have read Practice These Principles by Ray A. and The Steps We Took by Joe McQ.

Very nice, streamlined overview of the Twelve Steps' guide to life. I'd totally recommend it to a friend who wanted to know more about how, specifically , the 12 Steps are supposed to guide one's life.
