Sometimes God comes like a thief in the night; sometimes He breaks down the front door when you didn’t even know He was coming!
The author’s Unexpected Visitor made mincemeat of her well-ordered atheist life, taking her into vast, uncharted regions of her own heart. Traveling from Peru to India, she eventually found her spiritual home as a Kriyaban-yogi, a disciple of a great Indian Master, Paramhansa Yogananda. A fascinating, almost daily account of this sudden, total transformation.

I was particularly inspired by Jennifer’s unwavering pursuit of answers to the deep questions that many of us share. While each person’s journey is unique, there are universal truths in this wonderful telling that will inspire us all. I found it difficult to put down.
D. DeWinter, Kriyaban
There was nothing to dislike about this book. The author uses an easy conversational tone to relate to the readers. If you’d love to learn more about prayer, healing, spirituality, and self-realization, then this book is for you. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars

Winner - 2021 Best Independent Book Award
Raised by atheists, Jennifer Duke rejected any possibility of an omniscient creator. At age fifty, she could not have foreseen the cataclysmic shift that was about to occur in her life – and the profound inner experiences that would challenge her entire view of reality.
​
What changed? What took her to Peru and India in search of answers?
​
This book is not about organized religion. As Jennifer would discover, we do not need priests, dogmas, or institutions to experience our own direct, inner connection with Spirit. Through her personal experiences in union with the Divine, she was able, in time, to navigate the revolutionary shift in her understanding of Truth.
​
In Jennifer’s clear, sincere narrative we feel the authenticity of her journey, as she discovers our common Soul nature, the truths of the universe, and the path of Self-realization.
Whether spirituality is new in your life or you're an experienced Kriyaban, deep inspiration will be found in this story.
