Coming Into Oneness with God Do you know your spiritual self? Do you know your mission and purpose in life? Are you or someone dear to you experiencing a lengthy mental or physical illness? Then it's a must that you journey with Peggy Thomas Templeman, a retired professional social worker, and a survivor of clinical depression - a condition with which she has struggled for over forty years. Her highly inspirational autobiography tells of her almost insurmountable challenges, of progressively increasing trust and faith in God and of the powerful light of hope. Feel the author's struggles prior to birth and on through college, marriage, motherhood, numerous hospitalizations, and up to the completion of this book. She acknowledges this writing as a "divine assignment."
