Faith in the Inferno: The Development of a Baby Boomer's Spiritual Consciousness (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385031511)

In a wilderness journey of extraordinary joy and suffering, Elise Monet takes readers to realms beyond ordinary human consciousness where forces of good and evil are arresting, undeniable, and more convincing than earthly reality. From an exquisite foretaste of heavenly bliss to the horrifying specter of perdition, Monet is driven along a path of love and terror that shatters her worldview and transforms her understanding of spiritual reality. Faith in the Inferno unravels three decades of seeing visions and hearing voices, which severely test the author's faith and sanity. In explicit detail, she describes her visions, what voices say, and her struggle to make sense of them. Monet addresses problems with conventional treatment of schizophrenia, which ignores the meaning and reality of spiritual voices. She sheds light on historical accounts of voice-hearers, how and why spiritual forces may intercede in a person's life, the delight and agony such experiences bring, discerning truth from deceit, and the importance of finding coping mechanisms. Having broad appeal and practical value at the intersection of culture, faith, and psychosis, this memoir offers an inspirational testimony about how God speaks through suffering to save us. After documenting her terrifying dark night of the soul, Monet leads readers to a place of love, hope, and healing.
