The Road Home: A Spiritual Autobiography

Overview

An autobiography of both personal experience and spiritual beliefs. The author shares what she has learned during the process of reclaiming her true, authentic self after a devastating loss. Although Nadine's spirituality is grounded in the philosophies of twelve-step recovery programs, her personal belief system has been influenced by many sources—traditional and nontraditional. The spiritual gift found in the twelve steps is the invitation to establish a personal relationship with a higher power, or God, of their understanding. For Nadine, this has led her far beyond healing from addictive behavior to a true mystical experience. It first led her to a God outside of herself; then to a God within herself and others. Finally, she found her true self and her unique path. The journey has taken Nadine and will take her beyond this life into another...to the place from which she came—The Road Home.
