A parish priest with much experience in the confessional, Father Randolph helps the reader to see how the sacrament of confession meets the deepest needs of the penitent on the spiritual, emotional and psychological levels.

Fr. Randolph shows that confession is really about happiness. It is about how to get rid of all our nagging feelings of guilt; how to be relaxed and at peace, knowing that God truly loves you. He says it is that deep love of God that makes the sacrament of confession possible. Confession reflects the heart of the Christian gospel, the message of God's love and forgiveness.
