Product Description

Lacking direction in his life and relationships, a musician takes refuge in an imaginary, magical tavern, where through his spiritual guide, Paula, an attractive waitress, he gains insight into the underlying principles of spiritual fulfillment.

From the Publisher

Posing the question "Have you ever felt that 'something' was missing, that there has to be more?", this enlightening spiritual story guides readers to realize that the happiness they seek is inside themselves.

Originally self-published to critical acclaim, The Celestial Bar is the powerful story of Jonathan "Digger " Taylor, a man who -- like so many of us -- wanders from job to job, relationship to relationship, seeking the intangible "something" that is missing from his life. His spirited, but painful quest is offset by a dark predatory figure that haunts his dream and waking worlds.

Meditating before a crucial music audition, Digger takes refuge in The Celestial Bar, a way station for transitory souls. In this magical place, Digger meets a number of spiritual guides, including Paula, a beautiful waitress and soul mate to Digger. In the company of the wise inhabitants of this home-away-from-home, Digger begins to discover basic truths called Universal Principles: how simple changes in focus can powerfully shift our reality, that we are all beings of energy put on Earth to improve ourselves spiritually, and that we must balance the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual parts of ourselves in order to achieve true happiness.

Entertaining and insightful, The Celestial Bar will guide readers on a spiritual journey of self-discovery, taking them to the one place where the answers lie -- within themselves.

This review is from: The Celestial Bar (Hardcover)

Youngholm creatively integrates an action packed fictional narrative with life enhancing and useful spiritual/universal principles and truths.

The Celestial Bar has been compared to the Celestine Prophecy with good reason. His writing technique shows similarities to that great book, but Youngholm has his own insights to contribute to our society, which desperately needs the messages he so effectively presents in The Celestial Bar.

This inspiring fictionalized tale is a joyfully enlightening read, and a necessary addition to every seeker's library of metaphysical works of art!
