This book is a "unique and most valuable resource work for anyone who truly wants to help the church pick up its role and responsibility and opportunity to reduce and preven alcohol and other drug problems," says Rev.

"At present in the US, of persons who drink (about 70 percent of the adult population) 1.2 million people have one or more symptoms of alcoholism. Beyond this, four others close to each one of these persons is affected adversely. Adding to this total of six million people the estimated ten million who are chronic alcohol abusers (but not alcoholics) plus those whose lives are affected by this group, we now confront a quarter of our society.... Alcohol is America's #1 drug problem."
