True Stories of Encounters with God
It may be dramatic, it may be quietly unobtrusive. It may come at times of crisis, it may come as part of everyday life. But however it comes, the spiritual world breaks in on human lives - and has done throughout history. And when revelation dawns, or visions come, or insight breaks through, people are changed.
This fascinating collection of real-life stories tells of many ways in which men and women climb their personal stairway to heaven. Some are famous - Francis of Assisi, Mother Teresa, Vincent van Gogh, novelist Susan Howatch, athlete Kriss Akabusi, actor Thora Hird and many more. Some are unknown - they include hermits and terrorists, environmentalists and artists, prostitutes and professors, scientists and saints. All have a gripping story to tell about their encounters with the spiritual world.
