"I thank my friend Jerry Seiden for his help on this book. He rewrote what I put down on paper. He made it possible for you [readers in prison] to know what I tried to say—what I wanted to say. Jerry is a proven author and gifted writer. Although he has a brain like mine, he makes progress with pen and paper. Jerry has added greatly to my life and this book. He truly cares for all people. He has paid a high price to share his knowledge and insights. He offers his gifts even when those who need his help do not pay attention or recognize the gift he gives. He is just like you and I. He has struggled in many of the ways that we have. Yet God called him at an early age. His heart for ministry kept him from some of our mistakes. Plus, God gave him a good wife. She has kept his feet on the ground and his heart at home. Jerry is a man of God who feels the compassion that the Heavenly Father has for His children. He can teach the Bible and apply its truth for today’s world." William Sultzer, author of THE HAPPY PRISONER: How Misfits Become Miracles!
"Jerry, even though I never read 'those' books [recovery], I picked up Divine or Distorted. I read the whole thing—it's good! I was very impressed with your ability to get to the heart of the matter.
