Out From the Shadows

by J.R. O'Neill

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.

Fresh images and personal touch on challenge of alcoholism and depression

Reaches beyond fellow sojourners coming out of the shadows of depression and addiction to touch those whose lives are mired in many forms of clay. O'Neill reveals the power of God in images that crave a melody. The illustrations by Jerry Amon show a sensitive hand that visually and conceptually connect with the poetry.
