James Redfield presents what is classified as a fictional account of a search for a series of revelations or truths that are revealed as the main character ventures through both physical and mystical experiences. Each "insight" leads to new trials and tests that the main character, and the reader, encounters in order to get to the next "insight," or revealed truth. The novel is adventurous as well as metaphysical in the subtle and captivating scenarios that come one after the other. Reading this "adventure" becomes captivating from the very beginning and challenges the reader to continue pursuing the quests that are put forth. "The Celestine Prophecy" is the first of a series of subsequent follow-ups, or sequels, that enlarge upon the import of the first novel. Additional insights are set forth. Workbooks are offered. Additionally, the concepts are so engrossing that various clubs, "cults" and online email discussion groups have formed to explore and experience the "insights" set forth through the "Celestine Philosopy." Students of the mystical, occult, metaphysical and religious sciences will appreciate Redfield"s approach to the dissimination of "doctrine" that is applicable to many belief systems; both fundamental and esoteric. Being a leading treatise on such matters, the book is highly recommended for its subject matter, writing style, suggestive nature and its profound statements of truth vs. "realty." Once started, it becomes extremely difficult to put the book down, and many readers will consume the entire volume in one sitting. The impact on readers is indelible and unforgettable. Many readers buy additional copies for family members, friends and associates. "The Celestine Prophecy" often prompts a second and/or third re-reading. Lastly, the book is economically priced with both new and used editions being available online for a fraction of what the first editions were sold.Read full review

A lot of people I know took this(great)book a little TOO seriously..I've heard it branded:"sacrilegious" "occult"and other harshly accusatory words..But I personally took this book for WHAT it is:a fictional drama about an acient text with never-before-heard-of-views on life and its' underlying purpose!! As a devout born-again Christian,who KNOWS for a FACT,the actual meaning behind human existence,Istill was not particularly"disturbed"or appalled at this fictional books accounts of invisible energy fields,and power struggles between individuals trying to acquire more energy by "taking"it from others!! Like I stated earlier,if taken for what it IS,this is an AMAZINGLY entertaining novel!! I could NOT put this book down(until I finished it)when I first read it back in 2000!! The copy I now own,is the replacement of my first one,after that one was labeled an"occult" book by my(narrow-minded)brother,and then(mindlessly)"thrown out"by my cousin!! Nevertheless,this book was so interesting and enthralling that I just HAD to experience(at the risk of being called a heretic)its'suspenseful splendor again!! All the drama involved in finding the various"Insights"that provided clues to lifes'meaning was WONDERFUL!! This is a MARVELOUS book that would probably make a FANTASTIC movie!! I HIGHLY reccommend this book to those with open-minds,imagination and anyone who simply enjoys an edge-of-your-seat thriller!!GREAT BOOK!!Read full review
For $4 I wasn’t expecting an in amazing quality book and I don’t really mind a book that has wear and tear. That just means it’s well loved. But one of the pages was torn out clearly (doesn’t mean I still can’t read it. And the spine was coming apart from the pages in the front but some tape fixed it right up. But it was perfectly acceptable for a $4 book. I’m pretty happy with this 👍🏻

Great read. Bought it for a friend. I read it many years ago but the second time is even better. Will pass it on now. Spread the energy.

Wow. I resisted getting this book, or reading it, for the longest time. Any time someone brought it up, I rejected it as politely as I could. I think it was the name. Weirded me out. However, after the first few pages of reading it, I knew why I was reading it right now, even if not why I rejected it many times before without knowing what it was... Don't let the name push you away. If you want to follow a fun adventure while also unraveling some of the mysteries of the human condition, this is an excellent read!
