Few things in life are more difficult than overcoming an addiction. This book is not an expository treatment of alcohol and drug addictions. It's the story of an alcoholic named Jack, who is a compilation of the many addicts Chaplain Day has known personally and has worked with long-term in their struggle to lead sober lives.
Jack finds staying sober long-term is nearly impossible. No matter how hard he tries, he eventually fails. "Is there no place on earth that's safe for me, Lord?" he pleads. Read how that prayer is answered by a person named Manny, who serves as a Christian mentor for several years until Jack receives the final lesson that sets him free. We all could use a Manny in our lives and the lessons he teaches Jack.
PATRICK DAY is a credentialed chaplain who has ministered to hundreds of addicts in one-on-one sessions and thousands in group settings since 2005. He's taught the lessons in this book to men and women sunk in alcohol, drugs, compulsive sexual behavior, and other destructive addictions.
