I read this book in two days and couldn't put it down! Such a journey of physical and emotional pain to forgiveness and finding love within himself and his life purpose.
"Beyond Recovery receives an A+A friend told me that She was reading Beyond Recovery and she could not put it down. I was a little skeptical but followed her recommendation. I absolutely delighted that I did. It's not only a great, albeit at times, heartbreaking story of the author's experience as a child being introduced to drugs and alcohol too early in life and his subsequent trouble with addiction, his road to recovery, and the ultimate purpose he has found in serving others. He is a fabulous storyteller and an excellent writer. The reader is offered an intimate peek into his childhood adolescence and early adulthood. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with any kind of addiction. The book is a testament not only to the author's powerful journey but to the power of getting and staying clean and sober." - L
