God Outside the Box: A Story of Breaking Free

I go into the Moslem mosque, the Jewish synagogue, and the Christian church and I see one altar.   - Rumi

 

     
     

Music: "The Voice" by Celtic Woman.

   

Born of a Catholic mother and Moslem father, Patti is never sure what religion to follow, or any at all for that matter.

In her youth and early twenties, she explores numerous religions, but none speak to her soul. She can't accept the idea that one group has the whole truth and everyone else is wrong, or confused, or infidels, or a cult, or going to burn in hell for all time. To limit her thinking for religious purposes is like living in a cubicle and not being allowed to look over the wall and see what is going on outside. She wants to think for herself, to study, to analyze and to practice without inhibitions. Why would God only accept the practices and prayers of one particular group and not others? An omniscient God can't be that petty, can he - or she?

She finally concludes that she just doesn't know and flounders in a spiriutal void for a time. But when she is diagnosed with a serious illness and haunted by inner demons of her past, she cracks and falls apart.  Deep, buried emotions erupt to the surface, shaking her to her core.

Propelled to seek answers and find inner peace, she cries out to the heavens for help. Consequently, she tumbles into a spiritual adventure that explodes her concepts of reality and opens her to a brave new world where souls talk, trees emit energy fields, rocks have life, and God is everywhere.

 

What readers are saying about God Outside the Box: 
.    
      "I highly recommend God Outside the Box as a must read for those who think they are alone on this amazing pathway HOME. As a retired Hawaii Religious Science Minister, I have read thousands of self help books. This one is the divine journey of a woman who was determined to find God. She had to brave the dogmatic boxes of religions and have the courage to find that ONE Intelligence outside the boxes from the inside out. Patricia speaks from her genuine experiences and delights the reader with a true page turner that keeps the reader enthralled." Rev. Mark B. Johnson/Minister Emeritius - RSI, Pahoa, Hawaii
.
"Awesome! You are awesome! Once I started reading your book, I just couldn't put it down. I am so amazed at everything you went through. You really made me think of my own spirituality and more so what my own core is about.  Thank you for being you. Thank you for sharing your life with us." BJ Sato, Hilo, Hawaii
.
     "I really enjoyed God Outside the Box: A Story of Breaking Free and the biggest reason is that I was able to relate to the doubts, fears and life experiences that Patricia Panahi wrote in her story. The book inspires you to know that when you go through "stuff" your not sure of or really desire, that in the end it all just really works out, or as I say in my books "for my best and highest good". Understanding, knowing, and trusting this process is an awakening that we all have the ability to experience which leads to our innate power to consciously live. Read the book and realize that in any circumstances there are other possibilities and the opportunity to move forward." Al Diaz, Author of BEing the Titus Concept, California
.
     "I am awed at your personal journey and the relentless perseverence that you seemed to pull from an endless spring that welled up from somewhere deep down in your being. Thank you, Patti for writing God Outside the Box. Your work has helped calm my jittery emotions and I will push on with a more confident heart." Aleta Okada, Tahoe City, California
.
     "Patti Panahi's story of her spiritual journey is truly an inspirational guide into "Enlightenment 101." She has overcome so many personal trials and challenges in her life and still she chooses to trust God and follow her heart. Her heartwarming, uplifting story shows us that it is possible to create the kind of life that brings peace of mind, joy, and freedom to be who we really are. And Patti's story is written in an easy to read style that surely will bring a smile to your face and warm your heart. I loved this book and look forward to her next novel."  Susan K. Dorety, Sedona, Arizona
.
     "I connected with the author as soon as I started reading this book. As she spoke of searching for that "something" and finding it in pieces throughout different religions it sounded just like me. But as she bared her soul and shared her different experiences, I found myself pulling out things hidden deep within my mind and examining them once again. This book was so very more thought-provoking than I had ever expected. Those that have walked a spiritual path for any period of time can benefit from reading this book. It may trigger things you hadn't thought about in a long time and provide clarity and more depth than it had before. That's what happened to me and I can feel my flame burning a little brighter as a result. Thank you so much for listening to your inner voice and writing this book!  Karen Hill, Orlando, Florida

     "This book is enlightening as it unfolds the journey of an extraordinary woman to her personal spiritual awakening. The author wove her journey into a story so mesmerizing that I felt like a silent character watching her as she reached each pinnacle of awareness. For anyone seeking to embrace a spiritual awareness outside of the box, this book is a must read before you step out."  E. Gray, Kingwood, Texas
.
     "This is a wonderful book for those of us that are on our spiritual journey and not quite understanding what is happening to us. Patricia talks to you, she just doesn't write a story, she shares everything with you as if you are in the moment with her. I found this book to be very inspirational and comforting to know that I am not the only one who has this journey going on in my life." Vicky Dodon, Wendell, NC
