All God, If God There Be: A Journey through Incest into Incarnate Light (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798822912953)

Linda Carleton likes to describe her memoir All God, If God There Be as what might have resulted if the medieval German abbess Hildegard of Bingen had encountered Me Too. It chronicles her healing journey from childhood sexual abuse through a variety of spiritual paths and employs the practice of mandala journaling to explore both theology and her inner life.

Written with sensitivity and compassion, All God, If God There Be examines the deep wounds inflicted by childhood trauma, the exhilaration of mystical experiences, the joy of teaching comparative religions, her struggle with Christian doctrine, the challenges of working in refugee resettlement, and the insights drawn from New Age philosophies.

While gratified by these experiences, Linda still feels something is missing in her soul. Slowly she comes to realize that to find peace, she must fully confront her past. Through a variety of healing modalities, she explores the depth of her childhood abuse and comes to integrate her myriad spiritual paths into a joyful life embraced by Incarnate Light.

A unique survivor story, All God, If God There Beshares a path of healing that will appeal to those looking for an anchor in today's spiritual marketplace. It dives into the power of the Spirit to bring holistic healing to the souls of hurting people.
