3. EFFECTIVE SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES
“The great fact is just this, and nothing less: That we have had deep and effective spiritual experiences* which have revolutionized our whole attitude toward life, toward our fellows and toward God’s universe.

He has commenced to accomplish those things for us which we could never do by ourselves.”
Alcoholics Anonymous Pg 25
