Give the gift that keeps giving this Christmas — Happy Destiny Press offers hope, clarity, and laughs from 12-Step fellowship in four volumes.

Imagine holding the wisdom, laughter, and support of a 12-Step meeting right in your hands. That’s what hundreds of people have discovered in our GEMS series!

These four volumes are little treasures of spiritual growth—a collection of shares, thoughts, and insights from the recovery fellowship. They are designed to be “meetings in a book”; dip into them anytime you need a moment of clarity, encouragement, or a good chuckle.

The complete GEMS set gathers hours of meeting shares, reflections, and bite-size spiritual tools into one affordable bundle. For sponsors, sponsees, partners in recovery, or anyone you care about — these are “meetings in a book” to turn to when life gets heavy (or when you just need a lift).

Limited-time holiday price: $40 + shipping

(Canada shipping $20 · United States shipping $30 · International shipping charged at cost.)

Buy the boxed Four-Volume GEMS Set only in my estore — individual volumes remain available at Amazon and other retailers.

Real readers say

“These gems could easily be used as a Manual for Life … Use them in your private meditation time, or discuss them at your group meeting and the richness of this work will keep you focused on your recovery journey.”

—John Rook PhD

“… a little gem that has earned a spot by my comfy morning chair, where I sip my coffee and adjust my attitude for another day.”

—Ray Baker M.D.
Author, Recovery Coaching, Knowledge and Skills

Reading this book is like going to a good meeting, without the drunkalogs!

It is the best parts of a good meeting.

Like a good scout or guide, Andy reminds us in these pages how to stay on the right path, with a reminder to the trouble that lies ahead should we wander too far from the program.

A common sense guide to living the program,  not taking yourself too seriously, and finding peace through the tools of AA.

— Bruce M
