This timeless classic, Born Only Once, was inspired by a desire to make its audience aware of the syndrome of deprivation neurosis, so wide spread in our utilitarian, self-seeking culture, where the most needy and most innocent of its victims are given poor substitutes for authentic, affirming love. Born Only Once explains how affirmation is a way of being and living, which brings one real joy, fulfillment and peace. As such it is the true antidote to the many ills in our society, inasmuch as affirmation enables one to be at peace rather than endlessly pursue whatever one may perceive to be happiness. Born Only Once presents the truth about the human person and his or her fundamental psychic need for affirming love, in order to develop into a mature adult. This physically small but philosophically profound book will provide aid and hope to the many persons who so desperately desire wholeness and healing.

Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President, HLI, had this to say about the first volume of the American Tragedy in Trilogy. (Motherless sequel to be released later this year and Childless next year.) “In the Catholic novel Fatherless, author Brian J. Gail takes dead aim at the pervasive denials and chronic weaknesses that afflict men of every age, but especially men of the post-Pill generation. I think the greatest contribution of Mr. Gail’s book is the honest presentation of real-life scenarios of how much damage the Pill has caused men and their relationships with women. No one thinks that the Pill is a man’s issue, but Gail shatters that denial with his insightful rendering of the accounts of woe that follow in the train of the poison Pill. All men, not just Christians, need to read this and weep (in repentance) and then get up and make a difference in the world by taking on themselves once again the role of the virtuous man, father and warrior.”
