The Guidance That Led to a Miracle


When an eighty-seven year old woman receives spiritual guidance she doesn’t want to follow, she decides to ignore it. But as the weeks pass, events conspire to convince her that she must respond to the mysterious message. For months after taking action, she’s perplexed. Why had the guidance been so compelling? What was its purpose? Then on a cruise, she encounters a stranger with a message of her own and answers slowly begin to reveal themselves.

This is the story of Adelaide Woodcook, who was born into the heart of a religious system that made no room for her high-spirited personality or her innate connection to God. Marrying a minister of the same denomination, she sealed her commitment to the church and her place within its hidden world. But even that vow couldn’t stop her yearning or her search for an experience of God outside the only doctrine she knew.

“Houses of My Consciousness” is a journey through the houses Adelaide inhabited throughout her life—each one the backdrop for experiences that led to her extraordinary late-in-life transformation and the guidance that would bring everything to fruition.
