Grace Avalon's Story

Thank God I'm Crazy is a completely absorbing, other-worldly confession, as Grace is led out of a secret life of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Seen as crazy for having visions, and briefly placed in a mental hospital--she is miraculously transformed as her visionary places actually happen. Life reveals itself as an insane dream when Grace's reappearing images become symbolic guides that inspire her to awaken from the dream. Even though it goes to dark places, this book shines the light in an entertaining way as Grace experiences deep healing when overcome by flashbacks of blocked abuse, including past lives--all connecting the dots to her true Self. This transformational book is a compelling read as Grace, guided by her inner voice, realizes a compass was fixed within her for her path out of abuse. Those who know there is more to life can begin to see that everyone can hear their own inner voice, and everyone can find truth through symbolic vision because spirituality is our gift . . . it's as normal as breathing. Here, one enjoys the understanding that no matter how bad it gets, each painful challenge is a doorway to a greater self--another way. When we are in joy, we have found our truth. You will never see life the same again.

Grace's path out of hell also becomes a demonstration of the principles of A Course in Miracles (ACIM), which is a practical spiritual philosophy. Included also, are photographs of places which actually occurred, as seen in her visions.

Follow along an incredible metaphysical journey outside the boundaries of ordinary perception, and allow for the possibility of pure wonder. On these pages, you will laugh and cry, as from tears to triumph you discover and celebrate the love, peace and innocence to be found within.
