Summary: WOW! Truer words could not be written!
Review: I was recommended this book by my best friend. Although I am very skeptical of nearly anyone else's views on spirituality, I bought it anyway. Oh my gosh! On page 5 I was so amazed on how true his words were as far as lifestyle attitudes and the basic way nearly everyone is feeling about their lives at this point!
If you can honestly say that you are happy with your life and they way it is going, then read this book for fun, but if you feel lost in the direction you think you are going or are not really sure if anyone else sees the way this world is headed, get this book right now!! You too can respect and enjoy the fact that you are not the only one with your eyes open.

Summary: Not by chance...but by design. Divine synchronicity.
Review: Excellent, enjoyable read and journey. I am not a fan of fiction, although an avid reader I prefer non-fiction...I want facts...solid evidence...not fantasy. I was so sure that the Celestine Prophecy was a biographical account of a real man's journey that I was dumb-founded to find it was fiction. I had even written the publisher to confirm whether this was true. When I had asked the person who recommended this book if they knew that it was fiction they responded, "What difference does it make?" How true! This book is so marvelously written, it's insights are deep and universal that anyone open to it's message will close the book's last page feeling lighter and wiser for the journey. This book is for anyone seeking a greater understanding of themselves and those who ponder the questions, "Who am I? Why am I here?" Theists and atheists alike will glean something from this book. It's one of the few books I've ever given as a gift and still do 10 years later. It remains one of my all time favorites. A true literary treasure.

Summary: Celestine Prophecy: Or How I Lost My Faith in Humanity
Review: All James Redfield teaches us in this book is that he has a very poor understanding of evolution, history, human nature, religion, and most of all, literacy.Besides being filled with nothing worth taking away, Redfield has accomplished writing the most poorly written work of fiction I have ever read. This book's immense popularity and following among the "new age" crowd is proof enough that we are damned as a species.

Summary: Have to Believe!
Review: Even though this book is fiction , it is real. Parables and stories are great for the reader to understand what the author is trying to say. It keeps you going and you want to believe what is said. A higher form is very forceful in this world. Just listen and open yourself to it!!.

Summary: Read this and holla back at me
Review: Anyone who reads this book, and does not feel something or come away with a cleansed spirit need not read this book, or tyes like it.This book took my breath away, and I began to see all life and mankind in a different light after reading this book, a very highly recommended book, if you are on a spiritual journey. This is a journey not to be missed, no, not at all. Also read all his follow up books and meditations, and workbooks as well. When you are done, go to Gary Zukhav's Seat of the Soul, these two books need to be read back to back and lived.

Summary: no coincidences...
Review: if you are at a stage in your life where you are seeking answers to life questions, then this book is definitely a must-read.
i must say that the first part of this fictional adventure was difficult to get through, but a friend encouraged me to keep reading and insightful revelations will unravel before me...he was right.
my life has changed in so many ways since. and while my faith and beliefs have not changed, i no longer believe that there are really coincidences or accidents in life. things that happen are meant to happen, and if you pay attention to the details and the people that cross your path, the answers to lifes questions lie before you. really.
i think to really benefit from this book, you would have to be coming to a crossroads in your life and are seeking change and enlightment. contrary to what some people would say, it does not conflict with religious beliefs...i believe it enhances faith. see for yourself. ...

Summary: A powerful book for those who are searching
Review: Many may disagree with me but I think this book is good for those who are damaged by religion. If we as humans don't believe in a god, somehow we create one to believe that there is something more out there. This book encourages spiritual awarness within all of us. I truely believe this book is fictional and this did not happen in factual accounts as the book is trying to imply. I believe James Redfield is trying to convey a message and the message is a powerful one. I feel he had to get his message across through an action filled fictional adventure. Like most of the stories of the bible is filled with action, lust and adventure. I'm not trying to compare this book to the bible but I think he got his idea based on the bible's formula of interest. This book is great for those who are searching for knowledge of the spirit and a spiritual awareness within.I believe life is a journey not a destination especially a journey of ones' spirit.

Summary: Great book!!
Review: I feel this book open your eyes to spirituallity even if the book may happen to been fiction. I feel alot of people might laugh at this and think this a joke but I feel this book has a great purpose to those who may be weak in spirit. I feel religion is a restricted source of limitations and spiritually is the key to freedom not just freedom in general but freedom from the shackles of limitations of religion.

Summary: Love this book!!!!
Review: Of course this book is fiction, however, this book brings spiritualism to a new level. Now those that dont understand the book at all...two words.."TRY WICCA"(or any form of the pagan path) as a religion, then, just then you might understand it a bit better. This book is a pure gem, and will change your life.

Summary: No Flashing Lights Here
Review: The book is Fiction to clarify everyone's question. The story follows the narrator as he finds himself pulled into this mysterious world where on the one side people are searching for a manuscript that detail the essence of human existence and our future and on the other side the government and the Church try to suppress it. The highpoints of this novel is where "Dobson" recounts the history of Human Evolution. Also, for any student of the occult one can see that the author does have knowledge of certain "magical" practices such as breathing in the vital energy, the eucharist secret, etc. The lowpoint is mostly how the story develops, things happen too fast and the author dwells too much on absorbing energy and the relationship between the characters on the "good" side is unbelievable. Everyone is just so composed and happy. Happy, happy, happy. The people are sort of like some energy vamps in a Prozac club - sometimes while reading I had to stop because it got a bit weird. And is that the secret to the Mayan civilization's disappearance? Did they just dissappear? What about the Egyptians wasn't their culture advanced enough to just dissapear? The way the book ends also is a bit disturbing: if he's writing something to help people why does he leave off the story so dry? Why not put everything there? Instead he stops abruptly (quite an anti-climax) and you know there must be a sequel. Yes. And he even has a form at the back about getting audio tapes, joining a mailing list, etc. Can you say cult? It's like he's trying to estabish this new empire based on his book (T-shirts, mugs, lunch boxes, the works!). If you have eyes look at the other titles associated with this book - they're so neatly tied into this title. One final snigger: he mentions God all the time but never really gives the reader a clear idea of his concept of God. Was this manuscript his God? Please I would have liked to hear his views about God from the get go in this title. The one thing that I learned from this book is that the author has his own philosophy about life that he trys to bring accross in this novel. He appeals to the average middle american who lives a modest lifestyle and has an idea that there is a spiritual side to life. He is also keen to link his beliefs to Christinaity. Read the book and see - he knows exactly who his target market is. Are you apart of it? If you are truly interested in what life is all about read any occult book. Stuff like Steiner, Crowley, Bardon etc. If you are too scared to do that then read a book by a good psychologist: Jung. To the author: PLEASE TELL YOUR PROSPECTIVE READERS WHAT THE AIM AND INTENTION OF YOUR WORK IS!!! Ha Ha Ha - The Celestine Prophecy. Hhhm.
