In this remarkable biography, taken from over thirty hours of conversational recordings, Dave Linington tells of his eight decades, from an early troubled family life, to alcoholism and subsequently becoming Chairman of Alcoholics Anonymous. The story is one of Christian faith, but with a host of characters along the journey, many from backgrounds of addiction and criminality, before finding rehabilitation. Dave's life experiences - with its successes and failures - led to him establishing around twenty counselling and rehabilitation charities, both secular and Christian, in his own search towards finding significance.
