Arlene Lanman grew up during the late 1950’s in a small community that is now part of a large metropolitan city. As a Christian family attending church regularly was a requirement, father said a blessing at each meal, and each said a prayer before going to bed. She was christened and baptized. And made a vow to uphold the Faith; she was "saved" by faith alone without any in-depth knowledge, just Sunday school and acolyte training. Later in life she was a deacon and elder.
For most of her life, she was the ’Peacemaker’ (foretold by her Astrology Natal Chart) bending her will to meet the desires of others. In high school, college, and most of her work life, she was the ’Achiever’. It was only later in life that she realized she had ’performed’ to the expectations of others and not to meet the needs of her True Self, the Authentic Self. She spent a good portion of her life seeking her True Self, seeking her Purpose and Mission; all along knowing what she had been told, spiritually, was not the whole truth.
Unknowingly, she was on a quest to find the "Truth," a Truth that has been the core of all of her books.
She was a Military Officer, Professional Engineer, Registered Architect, an Engineering Manager within a major Oil & Gas Company, a Coordinator for a Hospital Design Firm, Director of Architecture for Higher Education at a state university, and a Senior Engineering Manager in Military Engineering & Construction. In the end, she found no answers to what is the "Truth".
One day, she was told that Faith needs to be based upon KNOWLEDGE (of the Creator, His purpose, Soul Purpose, Christ was sent to provide that knowledge, and she needed to know her Purpose and Mission). She then wrote numerous books to document her spiritual Journey and to guide the reader on their Journey.
