James Redfield hit the jackpot with this one. Published a few years before the new millennium when most people were afraid of all things to come, when some feared the end of the world was approaching, just in time for everyone to look past their earthly fears, possessions and lives and discover a new world: spirituality. Often dismissed in current years as superstition or fear of death, James Redfield manages to present religion and spirituality in a new light. No more should we be afraid of our spiritual side, no more should we remain unaffected by the universe and the energy of the world around us, but should embrace it as part of our life and through it discover who we are and what our purpose in life is.
New age ideas for a new age audience and everyone who seems to be restless, afraid and lost in this world. Yes, there is a way out and the whole world is heading to that direction; if you choose to believe this book, that is.
The story used by the author to present these ideas is not that interesting and the characters are not very well sketched but that makes little difference as this book is hardly intended to be read as a novel, it’s more of a spirituality trip and the lessons learnt are important (even if you are not that spiritual to start with), you just need to be receptive and open-minded for as long as you are reading this.
