Alive: Hijacked by the Holy Spirit is one woman’s personal journey toward God. This true story documents Charlotte Benke’s testimony of faith and transformation in Christ, using her daily journal entries. It reveals her evolution of change over a fifteen-year period, from living as a non-Christian to becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. Her story includes struggles, miracles, disappointments, sin, answered prayers, trials, and spiritual growth–it's a modern day psalm written by a single lady searching for love, acceptance, and the true meaning of life.



Alive is a turbulent passage of surrender and self-discovery. Adventures with God arise as Charlotte learns to pray, trust, and obey His will. She navigates through multiple careers, dating breakups, church homes, seasons of unemployment, and travel destinations while making new friends and losing old ones. Charlotte struggles with rejection and spiritual warfare as she renews her mind, grows in faith, and prays for the desires of her heart.
