The Second Book Of Wit & Wisdom

Words of wisdom, tempered with a little Irish wit, gleaned from 45 years of practicing psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and law, by someone whose first love is the Bible and Theology.

About the Book

This book is a record of those sayings, epigrams and crumbs of wisdom, which I have been fortunate enough to express in lectures, conferences and sermons over the years. In addition I have absorbed many of the words of wisdom expressed by others at whose feet I have had the privilege to sit and whose thoughts the written page I have submerged.

Many of these nuggets could well be expanded into a tome in its own right and my hope is that they be found useful in illuminating the teaching and communications of others.
