Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Courage to Change: One Day at a Time in Al-Anon II
Al-Anon Family Groups · 2016
🎙 Narrated by Uncredited (listed as 'uncredited' on Audible/Amazon audiobook listings)
62/100
👎 Skip It
This is a quietly trusted, decades-proven resource for anyone living alongside a loved one's drinking, and the bite-sized daily format makes it easy to dip into. It leans on general 'Higher Power' language rather than specific Christian doctrine, which is worth knowing if that matters to you. The narrator isn't even credited on the major listings, so I genuinely can't tell you what the listening experience is like.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Uses non-denominational 12-step 'Higher Power' spiritual language rather than explicit Christian doctrine — note for faith-specific readers. We still scored it 62; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
