Here’s a Times-Picayune article on that Danny Abramowicz book Michael edited.
The path that winds from professional athlete to drunk to recovering drunk now finds Abramowicz as author of a small handbook on spirituality for men: “Spiritual Workout of a Former Saint” (Our Sunday Visitor).
“Workout” is an instruction manual for men, salted with a few of Abramowicz’s own stories of what he believes are clear signs of God’s action in his life.
Chapters on the Holy Spirit as a “personal trainer,” “stretching out” in prayer, “scouting” temptation and others are interspersed with relevant digressions called “time outs.”
It is drenched with Scripture references but also frequently refers to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and such spiritual masters as St. Ignatius Loyola, Thomas Kempis and Thomas Merton.
