Book synopsis

Where is the line between sanity and mental chaos? Andrew Barrabbas hears voices. Are they figments of his imagination, or the voices angels? Or are they his personal demons? And the mystic visions he has, are they messages from God or evidence of psychosis? Or is the answer simpler? Are these things due to his alcoholism? Andy Barrabbas doesn't know. To find out, he takes a remarkable journey into his past to discover what is tearing him apart. On the brink of suicide, he admits himself to a mental hospital. There he is put through detox, and once his mental fog begins to clear, he is asked to write his personal history. The doctor in charge quickly realizes Andy is suffering from more than simple alcoholsim. He shows all the symptoms of a combat veteran. The diagnosis is PTSD and the doctor suspects the traumatic stress is from childhood abuse. So he asks Barabbas to write a sexual history. Yet the doctor is unprepared for the results. Andy 's search becomes a spiritual quest and a psychological odyssey, and the good doctor is faced with an unsettling question. Who is the healer and who is in need of healing?
