CHAOS TO CLARITY: SACRED STORIES OF
TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE
BY REV. PATRICIA CAGGANELLO & KATHLEEN O’KEEFE-KANAVOS
FOREWORD BY DR. BERNIE SIEGEL (NY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR)
Pain doesn’t have to define us; it can instead transform us.
Real people. Real pain. Real hopelessness. Real healing. A global voice of authors bare their souls.
Welcome to the heart of our shared humanity. Offering their expertise in spirituality and psychology authors Cagganello and Kanavos share
personal challenges of change; divorce and death, and those of thirty men and women from around the world who faced change head-on.
Through their adversity, learn how they became stronger and happier and went on to inspire and help others.
Topics of Change: Battling a life-threatening illness. Surviving an abusive relationship. Overcoming
addiction. Suffering the heartbreaking loss of a child. Wrestling with self-sabotaging thoughts. Losing and
finding love. The painful death of a parent... and more!
“This outstanding book contains everything a reader could want: emotionally gripping,
encouraging, hope-filled, powerful writing, engaging personal stories...so much packed into
it. Pain is part of the human experience that we can all relate to. But finding hope and
healing through the pain—that is a precious gem that this book uncovers. A must-read!”
– Pamela Cangioli, literary reviewer and editor
