Marking Hazelden's fiftieth anniversary, Damian McElrath - the author of Hazelden: A Spiritual Odyssey, the widely read story of Hazelden's first twenty-five years - offers further reflections on Hazelden's recent history that are both personal and authoritative, recounted as they were seen and lived by an eyewitness to Hazelden's last twenty-five years.

"This, the next volume of the Legacy 12 AA history series, explores the writing, history, and authorship of this recovery classic"--
Lord Acton (1834-1902) and Richard Simpson (1820-76) were the principal figures in the Liberal Catholic movement of nineteenth-century England, an ultimately unsuccessful effort to reconcile the Roman Catholic Church with the leading secular thought of the day. They collaborated in editing the Rambler (1858-62) and the Home and Foreign Review (1862-4), two of the most distinguished Catholic periodicals of the period. The correspondence is the record of this collaboration and sheds light on the religious, political and intellectual history of mid-nineteenth-century England. Though heaviest for the years of their joint work on the Rambler and the Home and Foreign Review, the correspondence continued up to 1875, a year before Simpson's death.

There, between 1924 and 1939, he married, raised a family, served in the Ohio legislature, marketed iron ore, an...
The Essence of Twelve Step Recovery: Take It to Heart, was written in gratitude to the Jellinek patients at Hazelden, whose lives, struggles and pain are witness to what spirituality is all about. Dedicated to Sandy McElrath, Damian's wife of 26 years, the book defines spirituality and the essence of Twelve Step living--and the essence of Hazelden.McElrath begins his Hazelden-published book with a quote from the Big Book: "The spiritual life is not a theory. We have to live it." (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 83). He goes on to eloquently provide his view of spiritual fitness. "The person seeking recovery must reconnect with his true self, with others, and with his Higher Power--the God of his ...
