"Even as a child, Lucille Joseph was aware of a tension between her parents' rational, evidence-based approach to understanding, and her own embryonic spiritual aspirations. Lucille would become a respected business and arts management consultant - well known for her role in Luminato Festival Toronto. But even as she addressed corporate challenges, she continued asking the question that occurred to her as a little girl: Am I in the world, or is the world in me?
At the same time, a similar gap was opening in western society. The beliefs of traditional religions were being cast aside, leaving little or no guidance for those who, like Lucille, yearned for meaning beyond the readily explicable.In Releasement
, Lucille Joseph bravely uses her own personal experience with her mentor, Kenneth Mills, to illuminate the spiritual quest. She employs the clear, unadorned language of a consultant, as well as the research and analytical skills of her chosen profession, to address the biggest question of all: is it time to rebrand God? A fascinating study of a deeply personal journey within the broad context of massive societal change." David Macfarlane, author
