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 never have imagined the extraordinary inner experiences that would transform her understanding of reality and set her on an unexpected journey to Peru, India, and beyond.
What happened? What awakened a lifelong skeptic to a direct experience of Spirit?
Bhakti is not a book about religion—it is a story of discovery. Through profound personal experiences, Jennifer gradually uncovers a deeply intimate relationship with the Divine and begins to understand the universal spiritual truths that unite us all.
Written with honesty, humility, and warmth, this award-winning memoir invites readers to look beyond belief and discover the quiet wisdom already waiting within their own hearts.
Whether you are simply curious about spirituality or have walked a lifelong spiritual path, Bhakti offers hope, inspiration, and a gentle reminder that Grace is always closer than we imagine.
