Download Redemption Alley: How I Lived to Bowl Another Frame AudioBook Free
After hitting rock bottom through cravings, bowling story Bob Perry found that religion is for individuals who don't want to go to hell. Spirituality is for individuals who have recently been there. Perry says his heart-wrenching, uplifting history of bowling for the mob and drug and alcohol habit in his new publication, Redemption Alley. Perry, considered by many to be one of the very most naturally-talented bowlers in the history of the activity, had potential to be one of the best even at the young age of 12. However, he was raised in 1970s Paterson, New Jersey, where everyone understood somebody who was "connected" - with the mob, that is. Instead of training for championships, Perry began doing odd jobs for wiseguys and hustling thousands of us dollars in after-house "action bowling" for John Gotti, who later became the supervisor of the Gambino criminal offenses family. Perry's relationships with organized criminal offenses eventually landed him in federal government prison, however, not before he became addicted to crack cocaine, liquor, and painkillers and was homeless on the avenues of NY. Ultimately, Perry washed through to the shores of St. Christopher's Inn, a shelter run by Franciscan monks. It was there that he had six fateful encounters with an angelic messenger who nobody else could see - a monk whose message was so powerful that Bob Perry has been sober for 22 years. In Redemption Alley, Perry not only shares his remarkable history of bowling success, his dangerous connection with hoodlums and gangsters, and his recovery from cravings, but also his inspiring, decades-long spiritual pursuit, and his sober journey back into the bowling world.
