From back cover:
If you know the hell of alcoholism -
-the soul-weariness of having tried to quit drinking, so many times,
-the morning torture of trying to remember,
-the hatred of self for all those lies,
-the hearts you broke,
-the work you botched;

and if you have found reasonable contentment in Alcoholics Anonymous, despite your disease;

or even if the alcohol monkey is still on your back, let this priest take you by the hand and lead you back to God. He knows of what he speaks.

So let's all listen to the Christ who had time and love and care for the outsiders - the lost sheep, the prodigal son, the bad thief. Sure, we'll be welcome! As Msgr. Farrell puts it in a rewarding style:

"What a shock on Judgement Day it will be for some who paraded as pillars of the Church when the sober bums walk right past them!" - from Amzon
