Father Fred and the Twelve Steps: A Primer for Recovery

This is a very moving book. Fr. Fred speaks from his own experience of being saved from the disease of alcoholism and from his years of thinking about and speaking on the Twelve Steps that have been God's gift to him and to countless others. This is a book that needs to be read and pondered more than once. It is full of wisdom and profound understanding of human life...The book can profitably be read by all those who are seeking wisdom about how to live wisely and well in this world. I recommend it highly. --William A. Barry, S.J. New England Provincial, Society of Jesus
