Fr. Ken has captured the essence of the Psalms as well as the essence of the 12-step recovery vernacular. His poetry grasps the spiritual depths of the despair that comes in addiction, the hope and eventual gratitude and praise that can be offered in recovery. I recommend this book as a tool for anyone who is comfortable with the biblical foundation as they grapple with the pain of addiction, the challenges and the joys of recovery. Rev. Dr. Deborah Kohler, 37 years in recovery, Portage, Michigan Fr. Ken's work in making the Psalms more accessible to recovering people is amazing. His understanding of scripture and the nuances of recovering people is very evident throughout this book. Guest House will incorporate this book into our curriculum. Jeff Henrich, President and CEO, Guest House, Inc., Michigan This is a terrific work that will have real relevance for all those impacted by substance use disorders in the court system. They are desperate for direction and this can provide it. These psalms teach that the goodness of recovery can't be forced. One must be open to recovery's grace and courageous enough to accept wellness offered by he Twelve Steps. As recovering addicts and alcoholics say: `Let go! Let God'. That is Fr. Schmidt's message. William Schma, Circuit Court Judge (Ret), Kalamazoo Michigan
