Publisher Description
The #1 bestselling phenomenon with millions of copies sold around the world -- now with a guide to creating your own Celestine Prophecy experience.
You have never read a book like this before--a book that comes along once in a lifetime to change lives forever.
In the rain forests of Peru, an ancient manuscript has been discovered. Within its pages are 9 key insights into life itself -- insights each human being is predicted to grasp sequentially; one insight, then another, as we move toward a completely spiritual culture on Earth.
Drawing on ancient wisdom, it tells you how to make connections among the events happening in your life right now and lets you see what is going to happen to you in the years to come. The story it tells is a gripping one of adventure and discovery, but it is also a guidebook that has the power to crystallize your perceptions of why you are where you are in life and to direct your steps with a new energy and optimism as you head into tomorrow.

"The insights are... well insightful. And for me, entirely consistent with Christianity, even though the plot of the book pits the 9 insights as antithetical to Catholicism. Jesus taught loving God and loving each other. Said if you had enough "faith" you could change physical reality. Demonstrated that lesson by transforming water to wine, walking on water, wilting fig trees and raising his dead friend back to life. What is loving your enemy and doing good things for them if it is not sending them loving thoughts? What is the value of Christian counseling if it ignores the power dynamics learned by a child in a dysfunctional family, and carried onward as (often self-defeating) personality traits in adulthood? I am a steadfast Christian, and in my experience God speaks in metaphors and coincidence all of the time. His voice is as loud as my willingness to hear it. Celestine is about prayer, loving, and listening to the world that you are in, but do not run. Though the concepts are presented in terms of paying attention and focusing energy, the practice and life philosophy it offers is much more Christian than Christians seem able to grasp."
