Help for Hard Times: A Twelve-Step Path Through the Pandemic and Random Disasters

by Jim Harbaugh, Anne Lamott (Foreword)

In this beautiful and personal guidebook, a recovering alcoholic finds courage and resilience in desperate times. Starting from the first days of the Covid pandemic, Jesuit priest and author Jim Harbaugh takes us through the very human and individual fears and sufferings – his own and his friends’ – that have descended for a relentless eighteen months as one unexpected change after another tries to rob us of hope. Tracing with gratitude his own recovery journey, Fr. Harbaugh reminds us of the lessons in the 12 Steps that can lead back to a solid home even as the walls seem to be caving in. We are blessed to have such a book.
