[File:Michelle Belanger.jpg|left|thumb|Michelle Belanger]] “Faith is a quiet certainty that there is both a higher purpose to life and a higher power that oversees that purpose. Faith is knowing that we do not have to go it alone during our darkest hours and, even when we feel utterly victimized and weak, there is still something brighter, purer, and more potent than anything we can imagine that cares enough to reach out and offer a shoulder for us to lean upon. The object of faith takes many forms and many names, but the universal truth is faith itself.”[2]― Michelle Belanger, The Ghost Hunter's Survival Guide: Protection Techniques for Encounters with the Paranormal
