How much does your life mean to you...This one will make you stop and think! Linden is down on his luck and at the lowest point in his life.
A stranger being at the right place at the right time begins Linden's journey to find himself, the meaning of life, and the realization that things aren't always as they seem. His journey takes him to many places throughout the world, allows him to meet new people that lead into important and meaningful friendships, and find out the meaning of love. His road is not always easy, with lots of problems and hardships. In the end, he realizes that what he thought he was looking for all along was not what he really wanted. He took things for granted and almost lost what he had been looking for all along.
No matter which God you believe in, this is a great story that will remind you that you will not be deserted. Whether you, like Linden, are also down on your luck, going through some of your own hardships, or just want a positive uplifting story to read...you will find it right here, in this book! Excellent writing, excellent story line. I did read this on my Nook, downloaded from Barnes and Noble.com and there were very few grammatical errors BUT Chapter 11 was missing.
A few of my favorite quotes from this book:
" Nothing in this world will bring you peace. No one can make you happy or take happiness from you. Uproot desires for anything outside yourself, and you are free..."
"Life is suffering. Suffering springs from desire. If you do not get what, you become unhappy. If you do get what you want, you are happy for a moment, but then when you lose it, you become unhappy."
"Every thought you think, word you speak, and deed you do sends ripples into the universe, like the wake a motorboat creates on a lake. The waves hit the shore and bounce back to affect you long after they were created. The more you pursue desire, the more it rules you...."
And my favorite one of all..."Be gentle with everyone for everyone is fighting an inner battle."
