Madness, Mystery and the Survival of God [Paperback]

Absolutely first class! It came into the can't put it down category so I have read it cover to cover. --Ian Mowll, Co-ordinator of GreenSpirit

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It is groundbreaking territory, fascinating, good, topical and relevant. --Janice Hartley, Secretary of The Spiritual Crisis Network Development Group

This new perspective on faith and psychosis offers insight into the unshakable conviction of both delusion and religious fanaticism. The survival of faith and superstition in a secular age is explained in this work. God is located within the scientific world view in a way that respects mystery and so enlarges rather than diminishes our vision.

Isabel Clarke combines working as a clinical psychologist in an NHS acute mental health hospital with publishing and speaking on psychology and spirituality. Her earlier book, Psychosis and Spirituality: exploring the new frontier made considerable waves - three conferences and a yahoo discussion list which flourishes to this day. Her earlier career in medieval history, and her involvement with the spiritual wing of the ecological movement, through Greenspirit provides a broad cultural context for her ideas. She also helped to found the Spiritual Crisis Network.
