The Alcoholics Anonymous home page takes forever to download, but it's worth the wait if you are looking for a broad overview of the organization, specific materials to help identify alcoholism, or AA resources in your area.For a list of articles about the history of AA, check out this site which also hosts AA tributes and Bible links.The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is available online from the University of Texas, including an appendix about spiritual experiences and some alcoholics' awakening "God-consciousness."Earlier this month, The Detroit News profiled Alcoholics for Christ, an organization that puts a bit a bit more biblical emphasis on the 12 steps, while the Associated Press covered an AA convention.Earlier Philip Yancey columns include:Chess Master (May 15, 2000)
