The author says: "Here is a book that I offer you, and in which I offer my whole self.
It doesn't weigh much, barely a couple of ounces, but what it contains can truly make a difference in your life.
Some pages seem steeped in despair, but one day the die was cast, and when despair recedes, what remains?
Hope remains.
These days, many have lost hope, for reasons different from or similar to mine. Many seek escape in some form of addiction. But this addiction soon leads them to despair."
