This is a book about the grace of God and His singular purpose for everyone's life. Using his life as an example, the author signals how we are born into certain families, have certain unique talents, have various life experiences, learn important life lessons, get off track and have to be bounced around a bit, and perhaps have to hit a horrible bottom before we surrender to this ordained purpose from our Creator. The book is colorful, fast moving, and covers a multitude of areas including alcoholism, the 12 step program, psychology and the field of mental health, theology, New Age journeys, custody battles, male-female relations, many travel and adventure experiences, and various other topics as sampled by the author. Mostly, the book is about the futility of our personal resources in serving our God ordained purpose without a surrender to this power greater than ourselves and the grace that follows.
