- The reader will be entranced
by these endearing tales of a boy’s heartache due to his
father’s alcoholism. Dr. Cantrell also shares powerful stories
of his faith in God and how this faith helped him come to terms
with the pain he endured as a child. The reader will be deeply
moved and uplifted. Scars & Stripes is a treasure of stories
to be read again and again!
--Rayna Vaught Godfrey, Ph.D., psychologist, Denver, Colorado
- As a medical doctor of more
than 34 years, and having been involved every day with the effects
of alcoholism and alcoholism recovery, I can attest first hand
to the devastation on families. You really need to read this
book.
--Ira B. Potter, M.D., Lackey, Kentucky
- Scars and Stripes is a “must” to read. It is encouraging
and uplifting. His stories are “Apples of Gold.” We
highly recommend this book for our counselors to read for their
own personal growth.
