Synopsis

This publication has an intended audience. A specific type of person---if you will. The one who chooses to read these works would be someone in recovery, or someone possibly contemplating recovery from the addiction, or dependency (if you prefer that term instead) on alcohol, or perhaps another substance/issue. The focus of this book is being dependant now on faith, and not specifically religion to get through troubling times. A tough read for certain, and I would strongly suggest that it takes great patience to get through the first section of this book. Jacob's poetry is nineteenth century English and is best understood as if one was reading a story, rather than reading poetry. Basically a tribute to Jacob David Allen, published poet, who lived from 1805 until 1876. And, through his own writings has compiled some works that can help those struggling with the disease----even today. To be fair, much of Jacob's works were of meaning to many other things than alcohol and deal with subjects such as friendship, religion, travel, family, etc.. These are the subject of yet another book that is still in the working stages.
