Thus the stories of C.S. Lewis, Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, Bede Griffiths, and Avery Dulles wove their way into her own story, and in them all she began to see a pattern emerge. She takes the reader through the battle of intellect and will, the first stirrings of desire, through the struggles of mind and heart, to the ultimate act of surrender to the will of God. In addition, she takes up the important question of continuing conversion as the normal process of the Christian life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA work of utter candor and simplicity, \u003ci\u003eTurning\u003c\/i\u003e is a twentieth-century account of the experience of conversion whose insights and applications will be universally welcomed.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmilie Dietrich Griffin, a native of New Orleans, lived in New York and worked in the advertising field there for many years, most recently as a Vice-President of Compton.
