Faith and Family: Lee Crowhurst's Journey Through Religion and Alcoholism
“I've had a look at the Muslim community, but I think for me the one thing that I have got out of all of the religions that I've sort of touched on- I wouldn't say I've studied them in any depth, I've sort of looked into them and had an idea as to what's going on- was zen buddhism.”
