| Aloha! Dick B.'s son Ken here. And "Cyber Week 2016" is here as well! As you may know, beginning in early 1990, I worked alongside my dad (pen name: "Dick B.") throughout his 25+ years of research into why early Alcoholics Anonymous succeeded so amazingly with "seemingly-hopeless," "medically-incurable" alcoholics who thoroughly followed the original A.A. path. When my dad passed away on September 12, 2015, he had been maintained continuous sobriety for more than 29 years (beginning in April 1986), had sponsored more than 100 men in their sobriety, and had obtained 90 years of age. I am sending you this first email message to welcome you—or welcome you back—to Dick B.'s 46 titles, 1,750+ articles, many audios and videos, and research. (Most of you were receiving the free "Dick B. FYI Newsletter"—which I may continue to send out from time to time.) Dick B.'s (and my) work had two focuses: 1. To find out whether A.A. had actually "come from the Bible," as a Christian A.A. member had suggested to my dad in early 1990; and then to report what he (and I) found, as objectively as possible, in context, and with full publication data, so that people could verify for themselves what my dad (and I) were saying about why and how early A.A. succeeded, when a number of previous efforts had failed. 2. To share with Christian leaders and workers in the today's recovery arena how they could substantially enhance the effectiveness of their work with still-suffering alcoholics and addicts by incorporating in their efforts the fruits of my dad's (and my) 25+ years of research. In order to encourage you to become more aware of my dad's (and my) work on the roles God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Bible played in early A.A.'s astonishing success—and to commemorate "Cyber Week 2016"—I'm offering nine (9) "specials" on key books by Dick B. (and, in some cases, with me as my dad's coauthor). I'm making available each of the following titles by Dick B. for only $9.95 each—but only through the end of this present week. (*This offer ends at 12 midnight, Eastern Standard Time, on Sunday evening, December 4, 2016.*) Here are the URL addresses for the web pages for the nine (9) Dick B. titles I am currently offering at $9.95 per copy as part of "Cyber Week 2016": The Conversion of Bill W.: More on the Creator's Role in Early A.A. by Dick B.

In some instances, $9.95 represents almost a 60% discount off the regular list price for some of these titles. Don't miss out on this opportunity. The clock is ticking. This offer will only be available until 12 midnight, E.S.T., on Sunday evening, December 4, 2016. Stock up for gifts for family members, friends, others in need, and/or others who care for those in need. And don't forget to grab copies for yourself, if you don't already have one or more of the nine titles listed above. These are some of the best books my dad wrote on the biblical origins of Alcoholics Anonymous and how "lessons learned" from early A.A.'s astonishing success can help Christian leaders and workers in today's recovery arena substantially enhance their effectiveness in "carrying the message to those who still suffer." These books, containing the fruits of the 25+ years of research by my dad and myself, present some of "the rest of the story" about the roles God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Bible played in curing(!)—see what A.A. cofounder Bill W. said on page 191 of the current edition of Alcoholics Anonymous (the "Big Book")—"seemingly-hopeless," "medically-incurable" alcoholics who thoroughly followed the original Akron A.A. "Christian fellowship" program.
