I am well aware that what is written in this book is not everybody's cup of tea. This doesn't worry me. My first concern is to tell my children who their Dad is. This means telling them the facts of life, my life, in the way I see it and live it--life with its ups and downs--since 1966 especially, seen and understood for what it is under the light of the Gospel. Is it a failure? It is not up to me, nor anybody else, to judge. God is the ultimate Judge. I am not writing for money, or glory, or to try to justify myself. I am writing in order to leave a legacy with this message: " I am what I am--for what it's worth--not because of me, but because of Jesus Christ to whom I committed myself, totally and unconditionally, and whom I love above everything else, even my own life
