Something big happened in the life of Dennis Dempsey when he was in his early twenties. Now fifty years later, he tells his story with a disarming degree of honesty. Alcohol Was My God narrates how a young man with a terrible drinking problem got sober and over time became a professor of theology. Alcoholics Anonymous put him in touch with a spirituality that served as the spark plug that restarted his Catholic engine. The Catholic Church opened up a path that blended spirituality and religion as two sides of the same coin, uncovering the treasures of a tradition that spans many centuries. This book offers a unique blend of personal witness and academic analysis by an author who lives recovery as he researches and writes about Catholic theology.
