The Celestine Prophecy

The Celestine Prophecy
by

    This book is truly an adventure. I couldn't put it down! If you love nature you will really appreciate this book. This work has a strong theme of presence and of interconnectedness with the things around you. It is spiritual without being down-right religious or from a persuasive angle. It is about a man who goes on a journey in Peru discovering lost pieces of an ancient manuscript. The manuscript supposedly contains answers as to how we as humans are supposed to live in harmony with the world around us and how we can evolve into better versions of ourselves. The discovery of the manuscript has caused quite a commotion in Peru. The government and some religious groups are trying to suppress it so that its word is not used above the authority of their own. As you can probably predict this gets the main character, and the friends he makes along the way, in some predicaments! 

    I have two degrees, one of which is in religious studies. I enjoy reading books about religion and the people and culture surrounding it. However, I wouldn't say this book is about religion. To me, it is about the common human experience and answering the question not as to what we are doing here but what do we do from here. It's an incredibly compelling story that will give you a new perspective on the world around you. I definitely recommend!

    If you really like this book... there are sequels!
