from the foreword by Wendy Alec, co-founder, GOD TV
Through suffering and anguish can come true perspective and happiness. We see this clearly as Lulu relates her poignant lifes journey with candor, images and wisdom. Lulu bravely unshackled herself from the occult and found faith; she found herself. Lulu shows us all by riveting personal example how to be free how not to be misled by false prophets, how to live joyfully and how to know pure peace through abiding faith.

Lulus book gripped me. Its a cautionary tale of how a young woman became trapped by the very things she thought would lead her to fulfillmentfortune-telling, yoga, astrology. How she escaped the trap is inspirational, hopeful and redemptive. Read this book.

Most readers know that books permit us to gain rather easily the wisdom for which the authors labored in much difficulty! It has been our privilege to know this wise and godly woman personally for many years, yet the wisdom gained through reading her journey in one sitting was quite overwhelming. You will be greatly rewarded with hidden spiritual insights when you choose to walk with her through these costly and well-written pages. Please do not miss the privilege.

I will never forget my first meeting with Lulu Auger. She came to visit Rory and me in our GOD TV studios in Washington, DC, during a particularly pressurized fourteen-hour production day. I remember being introduced to this petite, beautifully turned out lady.
As Lulu sat next to me, I loved her on sight and sensed that this classy lady was an exceptional woman of God. I knew we were both daughters of the same King, and that she held a special place with Him.
Through the months and years that followed, as Rory and I have had the privilege of spending more time with her, I come away enriched by the love, compassion and presence of the Father, and touched by Lulus kind and generous heart and wonderful sense of humor.
Lulu exudes love for people; she is a true daughter of grace. Yet I know she has come to this grace by much suffering, and that her compassion and love have been forged in the fires of intense private struggles that few around her would guess.
I sensed when we first met that there was a book within her, one especially for this crucial houra book that would give hope to the hopeless. A book that would give a voice to the voiceless. A book that would bring healing to wounded hearts. A book that would come from the very heart of the Father.
Lulus story lies within these pagesthe story of a talented woman whose spirit was crushed in a marriage that allowed little freedom for her to flourish. The story of a woman who, beneath the trappings of success, lived a hidden life of despair and emptiness. The story of a woman who sought answers in the occult and psychic encounters, beginning with Jeane Dixon as a close companion.
But God had known and loved Lulu, and came to her one dramatic and life-changing day.
To all those reading this book who are wounded from living in a marriage that has crushed your spirit... Lulus spirit was crushed.
To all whose voices have been stilled by the influence of a man who loves you but who is still fighting his own preconditioning and insecurities, and you have become the victim... Lulu was a victim.
To all those dying inside of desperation, who have lost the person God created you to be and are living as a shadow... Lulu lived as a shadow.
As you read Lulus story, I believe God will reach out to you. He longs to heal your hurts and flood your heart with His compassion and beauty. And tenderly He will draw you to Himself, so that you may know His never-ending love.
Lulu lives with Him every hour, every day.
I know that this is her prayer for you: May you be loved, convicted, inspired and comforted through these pages as you read the incredible story of one womans journey to enduring faith and true riches.
And may God meet you here.

I lay in bed, struggling to fall asleep that hot summer evening in 1970, but all manner of things were running through my mind. I got up, sat in the yoga position and tried meditating. But I couldnt still my thoughts as I pondered how completely my life had changed in the year since I first met Jeane Dixon, the well-known astrologer who had befriended me. She had made disturbing predictions about my life, and they had come to pass. She had also made other predictions that I hoped would not come true, especially her statement that my husband would leave me.
