Surprise Journey: A Spiritual Memoir

Investigators: Josefina J. Card

Surprise Journey The quest for meaning and understanding in life transcends religion. One day Josefina Card slips on a sidewalk and falls, sustaining a painful injury. She discovers that the world is much more fragile than it seems. The mishap sets her off on a search to put order back into her newly disordered life. This, she discovers, is not an easy task, her happy secular life and childhood religion notwithstanding. She embarks on a spiritual journey, discovering that God is seeking her as much as she is Him. God reaches out in unexpected ways as their personal relationship develops and grace takes her on an unanticipated surprise journey—through life’s triumphs and adversities—to the heart of the Divine. This is the true story of amazing grace guiding an ordinary life to extraordinary peace and vibrant color. As the story opens, the author is living a well-ordered California life—happily married to a kind, renowned scientist; parent to two incredible daughters; founder and CEO of a successful business; and owner of a comfortable home with a spectacular view of San Francisco Bay. But life can turn on a dime. "I was hooked from the beginning and easily identified with the author’s spiritual quest." "As the author says, 'God comes to us in places that are hidden in plain sight.' This memoir is one of those places!" To purchase Surprise Journey in paperback, go to Amazon .
