Fosdick’s sermons won him wide recognition. His radio addresses were nationally broadcast; he also wrote the hymn “God of Grace and God of Glory.” Fosdick reviewed the first edition of the book Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939, giving it his approval. AA members continue to point to this review as significant in the development of the AA movement.
