A Coelho's fascinating version of young years of a shepherd to become a man called St.Elias  pathlessness | Sep 1, 2007 |  A plausible retelling of the biblical story of Elijah and his exile in the town of Zarephath. (  ) xavierroy | Apr 2, 2007 | Coelo has become my new favorite author! (  ) dwebster | Feb 23, 2007 | Elijah learns about faith, god and his soul in preparation for his return to Israel. (  ) rayski | Feb 19, 2007 | "There are inevitable moments of misfortune which interrupt our lives. However, they happen for a reason." Sometimes the world seems to have conspired against us, and so we ask ourselves, "Why does this have to happen to me?" Confronted by the inevitable, some of us become discouraged; others, however, grow stronger and increase their understanding. The story of the prophet Elijah is an invaluable lesson of hope for the contemporary man. To what point can we predict our own destiny? This is the question that hangs in the air over The Fifth Mountain, and every one of us has tried to grasp it. Evoking all the drama and intrigue of the colourful, chaotic world of the Middle East, Paulo Coelho turns the trials of Elijah into an intensely moving and inspiring story – one that powerfully brings out the universal themes of how faith and love can ultimately triumph over. spiwritersguild | Nov 13, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
