Publisher's Summary

The Power of Love is an award-winning memoir of a soul's quest. Dr. Fran Grace, a professor of religion, narrates her life journey and describes her personal encounters with some of the century's most memorable spiritual figures.

At age 15, the author had a mystical experience that nearly shattered her. She joined a fundamentalist sect and served it until age 33 when an unexpected love affair forced her to leave the church. Though she enjoyed success in her academic career, she suffered an existential vacuum. At 39 she encountered her spiritual teacher, Dr. David R. Hawkins, who opened her heart. She moved to be near him and worked with him closely on various projects such as his Letting Go book, and she stayed with him until his death in 2012. Heartbroken from his passing, she went on a journey to learn more about the power of love. She spent time with 18 renowned spiritual leaders, scientists, activists, and artists, all of whom had been selected and verified with help from Dr. Hawkins before he passed away.

Fran Grace’s personal narrative is pulsed by her encounters with these teachers, each of whom has a chapter that includes a brief biography, excerpts from their dialogue with the author, and how they helped her to overcome struggles with health, grief, addiction, spiritual ego, sexuality, relationship difficulties, phobias, despair, a parent’s dementia, and seeing her "enemies" through the eyes of compassion. The audiobook narrative is read by the author and also provides a treasure trove of dialogues between the author and the great teachers she interviewed. The audio recording of a teacher's voice is either their own or that of someone affiliated with the path they teach.

Full list of authors includes Father Pavlos.
