The Numinous Effect: A Spiritual Journey

By Joan Elizabeth

When an adult Joan decides to tell her father about a one-time sexual assault on her when she was younger, her decision to do so will be the thread that unravels the family fabric. It is a dilemma that comes with the challenge of testing the frail bonds of her family's love and loyalty. It will be a decision that cuts through the family's fa ade of normalcy. Her choice to confront her father will dramatically turn her world upside down and take her on a journey making her question everything she knows about life, religion and herself. It's a choice that will ultimately transform and lead her to new life. "A Numinous Effect is a candid and poignant testimony to the power of faith and resolution to deal with difficult and damaging life-altering problems. The author very vividly captures her revealing evolution which, while personal, strikes a universal chord." -Jack Adler Writer's Digest

"A true journey of spiritual growth and deepening consciousness, Joan Elizabeth tells her story both fiercely and courageously. Her truthfulness is startling at times, allowing us to see her unfolding, and often painful, path of healing and, thus, finding herself. This witnessing to the fullness of truth should encourage others who read it to find hope and strength as they face their own demons, moving from shame to transformation." -- Janet E. Corso, spiritual director
