5.0 out of 5 stars A great book to help on life's journey, January 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Celestine Vision: Living the New Spiritual Awareness (Hardcover)

This book is James Redfield at his best. James helps to become more familiar with our spiritual side and to study the coincidences in life to help shape our spiritual destiny going into the 21st Century. The book chronicles one man's journey to find himself and the answers to the universe and to the age old question, "Why are we here on this planet?" His journey leads him to South America where he meets many people like himself who are looking for the celestine prophesies. These prophesies are said to hold the key to the understanding of the universe and why we are here. I often find myself asking myself the question, "What am I here on this planet to accomplish?" The Celestine Prophesy helps to understand the possibilities of life more clearly. They say God works in mysterious ways, God can work through the coincidences in life as answers to prayer. This book helps to understand these coincidences and unlock a whole new world of possibilities. This is not just a philosophical book, it also contains action and a little romance. I highly recommend this book to all people who are seeking more out of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Optimism, idealism and spirituality for the 90's and beyond., February 1, 1998

By 

Richard Warren Field (Tarzana, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Celestine Vision: Living the New Spiritual Awareness (Hardcover)

At a time of cynicism and disillusionment, James Redfield comes to us as an inspiring visionary. At a time of increasing specialization, James Redfield comes to us with an over-arching vision that synthesizes many diverse ideas; psychological, historical, political, scientific, spiritual and even mystical. And at a time of a cultural fad of hip pessimism, James Redfield comes to us as a convincing and unapologetic optimist. This book is a must for readers who enjoyed THE CELESTINE PROPHECY and THE TENTH INSIGHT, but wanted to absorb Mr. Redfield's views without the distractions of plot or story. In fact, THE CELESTINE VISION will clarify and sharpen the vision articulated by Mr. Redfield in those two books. For those who are weary of the hard-edged cynicism of much of our 90's culture, and believe idealism and spirituality are qualities worth rediscovering and cultivating, here is your book. - RICHARD WARREN FIELD, author of THE ELECTION, available here at Amazon.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book gave me the answers, February 10, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Celestine Vision: Living the New Spiritual Awareness (Paperback)

I have always wondered about the dreams that came true,thinking of people and seeing them same day,being hesitant between two decisions and getting the hint to choose one of them. I have always wondered about the behaviour of people in society and why they behave in the way they do.This book answers these questions and many more.i think you have to be a believer in God to be able to absorb the ideas presented by the auhtor.He takes you in spiritual journeys high up to afterlife and back to before birth and makes you cotemplate the profound ideas in the book.After I finshed reading the book i want to read it again to fully absorb the magnificent ideas presented in it. I strongly advice reading it by those who are wondering about life and our mission in it for the writer emphasises that we are all here on missons for the welfare of humanity.
