Either The Big Book Is True or It is Not, God Either Is…
or He Isn't - what is your choice to be? "Your job now is to be at the place where you may be of maximum helpfulness to others, so never hesitate to go anywhere if you can be helpful. You should not hesitate to visit the most sordid spot on earth on such an errand. … Continue reading Either The Big Book Is True or It is Not, God Either Is…
