5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY SPELLBOUNDING, March 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Celestine Prophecy: A Concise Guide to the Nine Insights Featuring Original Essays & Lectures by the Author (Audio Cassette)

I found this book to be a remarkable piece of art, stumbled upon by accident. I have never quite read a book that left you thinking about it's context with such depth and wonder. I find myself living in parallel with the story as if it were not a work of fiction! It really allows you to see the beauty of nature, family and life. If you want adventure that places you within the depths of a story, then you found the right one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book!!!, November 22, 1998

This review is from: The Celestine Prophecy: A Concise Guide to the Nine Insights Featuring Original Essays & Lectures by the Author (Audio Cassette)

The book is an excellent follow-up to the The Celestine Prophecy and helps the reader totally grasp the nine insights. I also recomend reading the Tenth, because living without it and only with the nine, your life is not complete. May your energy be high.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very enlightening content poorly written in a New-Age daze., April 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Celestine Prophecy: A Concise Guide to the Nine Insights Featuring Original Essays & Lectures by the Author (Audio Cassette)

This book is heralded by some to be the new artifact that has the answers to life. Whatever! Though the content is worth the reading and contemplation, do not be mislead by the motives of the author. This is yet another piece of New-Age material that too many trees have been wasted on.

There is a real message in the book that I believe Redfield happened to stumble upon by accident, or perhaps he heard of true spiritual accounts and tried to immitate them in this book. Keep your wits about you, and be discerning. He should have left these lessons to be taught by those who have had these experiences, or to a real author, who would have put the information across much, much more effectively.

As I said before, find the truth in the book, because it is worth the few bucks, but do it only if you are able to ignore the money-making scheme of it.
