| | Spirituality & Health: Review Feature: Joan of Arcadia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | God appears to Joan as the people around her a cute boy at school, a chess master, a street sweeper, a goth boy, a dog walker, an overweight student, a lady in the school cafeteria, a Pizza deliveryman, a substitute teacher, a homeless man, a little girl (above), and many others. |
 | | Joan, at a crucial moment in her spiritual development, talks to a rabbi who tells her about the Jewish concept of the evil impulse that resides in us all. |
 | | God's presence is also evident in Joan's relationship with her two best friends, Adam Rove (Christopher Marquette), a supposed stoner who turns out to be a gifted artist, and Grace Polk (Becky Wahlstrom), a rebellious outsider who shows Joan how to stand up for herself and not give in to peer pressure. |
