THE BUZZZZZZZ ABOUT
STOLEN HOURS
A self-help memoir by John Howard Prin
“Anyone in recovery will recognize the ground
covered in Stolen
Hours. Addictions wind through dark and mysterious
ways. John Prin’s book provides much welcome light along
this difficult journey. Everyone in recovery will benefit from
this read.”
Earnie Larsen, best-selling author
of Stage II
Recovery and From Anger to Forgiveness
“I found Stolen
Hours to be an impressive and important contribution
to our nation’s efforts to stem the epidemic of addiction
in America. The secret is out about this fine book. John Prin
delivers a powerful message about recovery and the new resources
available to address the No. 1 public health problem facing our
nation.”
US Congressman Jim Ramstad
"Stolen
Hours reads like fiction. It grabbed me from
the first page and I related to every person in it in some fashion.
What makes John Prin's book different is that it shows how you
can go through pain, instead of around it, and come out whole.
John tells how he faced numerous trials head on and the ways he
dealt with them one day at a time. I think readers will find the
nitty gritty of how our growing-up years affect our adult lives
to be enlightening."

book…A wise and uplifting blend of insight and inspiration.”

Stolen
Hours makes a valuable contribution to understanding
self-defeating behaviors. Mr. Prin’s stirring story, as
well as his insights for readers contained in the sections, will
help many who hide unhealthy secrets and struggle against compulsive
urges and addictions. I enjoyed every page!”

"I found Stolen
Hours to be a book I could not put down. John
Prin's compelling story of his journey through various addictions
and life challenges to a God-given wholeness will resonate with
many readers. I especially appreciate Prin's demonstration of
how the Secret Keeper's "guilt cycle" of excitement,
pleasure, and delight can be transformed into the excitement of
seeking God, the pleasure of sharing divine presence, and the
delight of being loved and comforted."
