Book Review by Deborah Huck
I
t’s quite miraculous when a book finds you and simply never leaves you. This book was recommended to me over 20 years ago and yet, is still as relevant today. I was so meant to read this book, it came at just the right moment in my life. So I was travelling with my sister through Thailand, one night in a bar we met a couple called Terry & Jesus (he actually looked liked Jesus). Very quickly we struck up a beautiful connection and she told me all about this amazing book that I simply had to read The Celestine Prophecy - a book about the pursuit of a secret ancient Manuscript found in the rain forest of Peru, containing profound insights & wisdom, woven within a story of adventure & discovery. It sounded so compelling that I wrote it down on a bit of paper and placed it securely in the pocket of my shorts. We hugged and said our farewells and yet our chance meeting felt orchestrated by something bigger than us all. A few days later we were preparing to leave the island to continue our ad-venture and decided to take our clothes to the laundry. When we eventually got our clothes back (that’s another story!) I realised I had left the bit of paper in my shorts - I checked the pocket and pulled it out, only to discover a blank piece of paper, my heart sank - I had no way of contacting them. Fast forward a couple of weeks and we were on another island, sitting in a restaurant and watching the world go by, who should walk past but… yep you guessed it - Terry & Jesus - what
were the chances of that? My mind was totally blown, it felt significant & yet unexplainable this is what the book is about. The chance encounters in life that lead us to understanding how energy is everything & that we are all connected. When we returned back to the UK, I bought the book - its one of those books that you can read again & again - it’s full of ‘aha’ moments, profound wisdom and helps you to unravel & understand with clarity, why you are where you are in life. It helps to direct & propel you forward with renewed optimism. It’s a book that comes along, just once in a life time to change you forever. I hope it’s as life changing for you, as it was for me - enjoy.
