The Bahamas Council on Alcoholism hopes that this project will enhance considerably the community's awareness of the unique circumstances associated with alcoholism, and further positively motivate its reader to devote much time, imagination, energy and interest in effectively lowering the incidence of this insidious Bahamian illness.

Letters and Other Messages fro the Heart
Behind the facade of a Bahamian Methodist Minister


Exceprt:  
Letter to God
At first glance there is something rather odd, addressing a letter to the One, Supreme, All Holy, All-Knowing, All-Seing, All Merciful, All Powerful, All Mighty God, "High and lifted up", yet infinitely close, incarnate in the crucified, resurrected and ever present Christ.
