From their own recovery, the authors discovered that the best way to change ourselves is to change our image of God. Recovery is then rooted in finding a healthier, more authentic way of belonging. Pointing the way to new depths of hope and personal resources of inner healing, the Linns' honest, generous and intimate sharing is at times painful, but always liberating.

The Linns' simplification of the Ignatian examination of conscience is a way to find daily direction, experience emotional and spiritual growth and grow closer to both God and one's inner self.
