Book Description

August 1, 2000
Bill, a college junior and music major, thinks he's found his soul mate. Now, after waiting patiently for his true love and with emotions ready to explode, he leaves home to pursue her. Nothing can stop him, not his tyrannical mother, not her overly protective father. Like most young men, he believes he can accomplish anything. But, he is naïve, impulsive and inexperienced. Just when he thinks everything is beginning to go according to his plans, an unforeseen obstacle stands in his way, something so terrible that Bill risks losing everything, even his sanity.

As Bill struggles, he finds a mentor in one of his college professors. Challenged to find out who he really is, Bill begins to unlock the cell that has imprisoned his soul since before time began. During a Vision Quest, he stands alone in Skull Valley, Arizona. Out of his tortured past, a mortal enemy has once again found him and a life and death battle ensues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive and beautifully lucid!, October 16, 2000
By 
Mary Anne King (Holy Island, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Highest Mountain (Paperback)
Ordinary people find their extraordinariness and play out a powerful drama. This story goes beyond a simple love affair and deals with the toughest problems of all, the challenge of surmounting the mediocrity of life -- despite their social upbringing. "The Highest Mountain" grapples with important issues, such as freedom, responsibility, identity and, above all, destiny. This is the extraordinary story of a man's quest for self-identity. It will change the way you feel and think about yourself. A compelling novel; a real page turner!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Vision Quest of the Highest Order, October 9, 2000
This review is from: The Highest Mountain (Paperback)
Against a backdrop of romance and adversity, "The Highest Mountain" is a novel about mentorship and rites of passage. Bringing together Christian, Buddhist and American Indian spirituality, one man relentlessly questions who he is and what is his purpose. This is a must read for anyone who aspires greater things than mere mediocrity.

1.0 out of 5 stars Easily the worst book I've ever discovered ..., June 11, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Highest Mountain (Paperback)
Ii's too bad the lowest rating I could give this book was a "1-Star"; it really deserves at least several minus-stars! I bought this book because of the weighty and important subject the author was purporting to write about. What I got was the WORST WRITTEN BOOK I've ever tried to read. How does [stuff] like this even get published? Are there no editors at this publishing house? The book is 90% dialogue, and the dialogue is 100% horrible! Where on earth do people talk like this? The "like" that the main character kept uttering drove me crazy; that his erstwhile girlfriend kept at it with her annoying "y'all" and equally painful " I'll tell you what " ( this from a girl whose father is named Vladimer!) drove me right up the wall. Now I could accept this writing if it was something for Writing 101 being handed-in by, say, an engineering major. But a publishable work of fiction? Please! The author should stick to flying his Cessna, sailing his boat " in the French Antilles ", and doodling with his wiring diagrams. I'm sorry my [money] will help pay for his ultra-cool lifestyle, but we all waste money now and then. By the way, I was able to get about 70% through the book when I decided to stop torturing myself. I looked at the ending real quick; it confirmed my worst fears! I couldn't go on with it and threw the book into the garbage. It will probably take me, like, weeks to get this taste of y'all's writing out of my mind - I'll tell you what!
