Judith Catan is a writer and life coach with a unique perspective on spirituality. Born in Israel and raised as a secular Jew, Judith's path to faith has been anything but conventional. Her insights into God and spirituality stem from a series of revelations that transformed her understanding of faith.

Judith's journey toward faith began in 1985 during a dark period in her life. Feeling lost and depressed, she sought help from friends who introduced her to the concept of inner healing. In a moment of vulnerability, Judith agreed to receive Jesus into her heart, marking a significant turning point in her life. Judith highlights the importance of feeling God’s presence in everyday life. She describes her relationship with God as an intimate connection, akin to an umbilical cord linking her heart to the heart of God.
