A Reluctant Spirit: A True Tale of God, Ghosts and a Skeptical Christian
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GHOSTS CONFRONT A RELIGIOUSLY NARROW SKEPTIC?
In this true story, Kathy Berry joins a TV news crew and paranormal investigators as the team’s impartial observer. Their first stop: central Nevada’s fabled Goldfield Hotel. This 12-hour, overnight odyssey in the long shuttered, four-story hotel pulverizes her beliefs that the paranormal is evil or figments of the weak-minded. It also threatens her fragile health as she struggles with constant pain and extraordinary weakness from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
In the Goldfield, eerie activity confronts her on every floor. Kathy hears, feels and sees spirits—and they aren’t what her pastor preached or Hollywood depicted. The group’s psychic tells her that Goldfield has opened Kathy’s third eye. Having an evangelical background, Kathy must face her years-long denial that she possesses a sensitive’s gifts and, therefore, may be bound for hell.
A Reluctant Spirit: A True Tale of God, Ghosts and a Skeptical Christian relates how this night wrenches her reality, impacts her health, and leads to her spiritual transformation. Kathy shares insights into the mysteries of life after death, why coincidences do not exist, and why we should heed our intuition. A Reluctant Spirit chronicles how Kathy reconciles her supernatural experiences with her Christianity and comes out stronger for it.

A woman who is a committed evangelical Christian, with a chronic illness, gets reluctantly swept into the world world of supernatural spirits and ghosts.
I found this interesting and well-written. It was like watching the metamorphosis of a person's faith where God got bigger instead of smaller.
I've never had these kinds of experiences, nor would I want to, but they led to spiritual and physical healing that can only come from a loving God.
