Testimonials
Like The Celestine Prophecy on crack. So amazing.
A highly readable and entertaining book to begin a journey beyond the five ordinary senses ... This was the best book I read in 1994 ...
Changed my life when I read it in my twenties and enjoyed a second reread.
Don't remember how I came across this book but remember I read it at a troubling time in my life and the book provided me with great comfort. I passed the book along to several friends and family and they all found this book transformational. A simple tale but loaded with powerful life lessons.
I heard this book was good from many people ... I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys literature about life and living.
I read this book in 1999 after a traumatic brain injury left me hopeless and depressed. Perhaps my brain was at just the right stage of healing or perhaps I'd always been waiting to read these messages -- but it really did change my life forever.
