Not God

"Not God" is one of the greatest titles for a book that I have ever seen.

Ernest Kurtz, Not God: A History of Alcoholics Anonymous, 1991.

It is a simple two-word summary of the bedrock of spirituality, as I understand it.

There is a God.

It is not me.

I do not endorse everything that went into Ernie's own spirituality, but his expression of this first principle and foundation has stuck with me since the first time I read his book.
