ABOUT THE BOOK

Faith in the Inferno

The Development of a Baby Boomer’s Spiritual Consciousness

Direct encounters with good and evil spirits expose the raw nature and power of spiritual reality, which through the ages, has generated many compelling questions. Why do mysterious spiritual experiences occur in people’s lives? Why do some people see visions and hear voices? How do we know if encounters with spiritual reality are a test of faith, divine instruction, a blessing, or the consequence of sin? How can we discern truth from deceit? What do these primarily unseen realms reveal about ultimate reality?

Faith in the Inferno sheds light on how and why divine and demonic forces may intercede in a person’s life, the joy and suffering such experiences bring, and the importance of finding coping mechanisms.

This memoir reveals the mind’s mercurial nature at the threshold of schizophrenia and includes research on the phenomenon of hearing voices and historical accounts of saints, artists and others who have heard them. While unmasking the unseen war at the heart of life, this book is poised to have a positive impact on treatment modalities and cultural attitudes towards those seeing visions, hearing voices and/or diagnosed with schizophrenia, the most severe, debilitating, and costly mental illness.
