Paulo Coelho is the author of several magical novels, including The Alchemist
and The Fifth Mountain. This link is to HarperCollins' (USA) page describing
the author and his books, published in English translation. Coelho's books are
spiritual without being heavy-handed. They are easy and enjoyable to read but,
at the same time, they draw our attention to way in which the spiritual
aspect of the universe listens to us and interacts with us.
Like many other readers, Deborah has enjoyed, and been deeply inspired by
Paulo Coelho's simple but profound message of following one's own
dream. She quotes from The Fifth Mountain in her book,
Mind Detox.
