It was a favorite and valuable book when I first bought it 30 years ago. I lost the original book and wanted it again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is the basis of a Men's Retreat to be held June 6, 7, 8 near Kingston,NY (James @ 845-233-2657) *by J***R on January 3, 2014* Although I was very eager to get into this book because of it's topic "The Spirituality of IMPERFECTION", I must admit that I was unaware that the book would be about the founding principles and history of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). This fact did not discourage me from diving into it, for I grew up in a family of 8 children, a stay at home Mom and a Father who attempted to be in control by using beer to balance his ups and downs. Actually, being brought up a Roman Catholic, this book was most helpful in describing in factual detail as well as stories that are related to the details. For example. even though I never realized that by attempting to be faithful to the teachings of my religion, I was caught up in what is described in depth as the Spiritually of PERFECTION. The difference between the Spirituality of Perfection and the Spirituality of Imperfection which captured my attention immediately was that even though each accepts that as human beings we are flawed form the onset of our existence, how this fact is used determines their separation. The path of Perfection sets out attempting to help a person grow spiritually by reinforcing the need to good, to be better than, and to strive to be the best. While emphasis on the paradox that the same person is at times evil and at times good is used to promote the necessity of working to be or for the good. Imperfection allows spirituality to flow into and out of the person who is accepted as sinner and saint, good and evil, kind and rude. Whatever the person brings to their quest for serenity from their "torn-to-pieces" existence is acceptable. For the starting point of the spirituality is the bottom, failures not seeking success or attempting to be in control. To learn more of how Imperfection can set a person on the path of Spiritual growth give this book a read. Keep you mind open to something seemingly unorthodox as most (extra)ordinary. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/6383267-the-spirituality-of-imperfection-storytelling-and-the-search-for-meaning](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/6383267-the-spirituality-of-imperfection-storytelling-and-the-search-for-meaning) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
