Celestine Prophecy, The: Abridged

Rating:
Summary: Enlightening
Review: This book was not meant to be a great fictional read. It had a purpose which was laid right out on the table so readers could pick up on it. Think about the experiences in the book. Each one either directly or indirectly led to the other. Think about your life. That is what Redfield wants. You can learn something about the way you view life and how all of life's events have purpose and meaning.

Summary: Makes Wonderful Compost
Review: Makes Wonderful Compost. There was one unanticipated delight in reading The Celestine Prophecy and its ensuing concurring reviews; I have discovered just how intellectually superior I really am.

Summary: Very Humanistic, lacks true spirituality Not believable Fic
Review: If you are looking for true spiituality you won't find it here. If your looking for a good fiction you wont find it believable. This book teaches the same basic principles every other humanist does. That we don't need anyones help to reach God. That we can pull ourselves up by our bootstraps into a spiritual realm through concentration. The way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. He broke down all barriers between God & man. Throug Christ we have all the "energy" we will ever need and without him you can never know his power. If you are an atheist, tree worshipping vegetarian you'll love this book.

Summary: Wow......(spoken in disgust)
Review: This was possibly the most poorly-written book I have ever read. It has no plot. Once in a while people move around, but that is just to briefly separate the "miraculous insights" from one another. The only way I can see giving this book any credit is if you actually BELIEVE the trash that this guy is preaching. He might as well drop the whole action/suspense portion of the book (about 20 pages) and just call it "Religion according to yet another new-age nutcase." I mean, I would be hard-pressed to find another book so poorly written (Try "The Death Disciple". It's almost as bad.) Anyways, please don't read this book. It's not even worth one star. I actually would have given it a negative star, but that's not possible.

Summary: A poorly written book
Review: This was one of the worst books I have read. I kept reading and reading, waiting to "get it", because everyone who has read it seems to "get it", but the whole thing continued to elude me. I found myself skimming pages just to find some substance. This is truly a poorly written book, and I cannot believe the reading public is so easily taken in.

Summary: Great Read! Looking in yourself for more
Review: Although it has been sometime since I have read this book, but I found that it helped my to gain a better understanding of myself, the world, and God. Although I don't agree with everything from my religious background, I do find that it has helped my to root myself deeper in my Faith and root myself deeper in nature and to respect life and that everything even a stone has life.

Summary: this book is amazing... it has changed my life
Review: The Celestine Prophecy is not only a fantastic book, it is also essential..... if you have not read it then it is extremely important that you do so as soon as possible. Once you have read it , it will become clear why it is so important.

Summary: Thought-provoking yet idealistic
Review: I am amazed at how many of you read the book purely for it's literary value. If you did that you read it for the wrong reason. The book wasn't meant to have perfect english; if it did that it would be dry and boring. Rather than reading it to see if it uses proper english, read it for what it has to teach you. I agree it isn't particularly realistic, but I doubt it was meant to be-if it were, the tools to carry out the Insights would be included. That's why there is the handbook! Instead, read the book for what it can teach you about yourself. I won't tell you what that is because it will be different for all of you, but you need to know that it teaches you to FIND yourself. Who ever said we can't change the world? You need to understand that you are capable of doing more than you can dream, that is what the book is trying to tell you. The idealism in the book isn't what's important. I know that reading it helped me to understand my own life and experiences better, and for all of you who missed that I pity you. You're afraid to learn about yourselves. Feel free to email me with hate mail, I'd love to teach you all you've forgotten to learn.
