This spiritual narrative unfolds the journey a 37-year-old, highly skeptical, rational woman asshe travels from atheism to a devoted life of faith.

Joan Ball had it all: At thirty-seven, she was a highly skeptical, deeply rational woman. She had a loving family, an extravagant home, a high-profile career, even personal contentment. What she didn't have was religious faith-something she was sure she didn't need or want. All of that changed on a sunny day in June 2003, when without seeking or asking, she had a spiritual experience that changed everything... Joan Ball is a professor at the Peter J. Tobin College of Business at St. John's University in New York and a writer at Beliefnet.com. She and her husband, Martin, have three children and live in suburban New York.
