Award-winning Author/Artist Shelley Gilbert's seventh book God Is Real, My Spiritual Journey to God and Eternity is an inspirational true story. While shopping in Bed, Bath and Beyond, the author looks at all the stuff in her cart and silently implores: This can't be all there is to life! A Jewish atheist, she begins her spiritual journey. With the help of Rose Kennedy's face and a ghost, the author one day finds God in front of a local church sign. While crying and shaking, she experiences an epiphany, finds God and converts to Christianity on the spot. "In the half hour that I sat in my car, I went from believing nothing to believing everything." Her honest memoir's detailed depiction of her visions and signs are amazing. Her personal narration is moving. Today, Shelley Gilbert continues her spiritual journey, discovering there are still higher places to travel.
