J. R. O'Neill draws on his experience growing up in an alcoholic family and on his more recent journey through the dark valley of depression to create poetic portraits for psychospiritual growth and maturity. These sanctified memories--together with many other spirit-captivating encounters with God in biblical stories, nature, and community--make this a good read for anyone interested in feeding the soul, and especially for those lost in or emerging from the shadows of depression or addiction.
