Like his previous bestselling books, Redfield holds the tension between an adventure travel story (in this book, armed Chinese soldiers doggedly pursue him) and divine encounters. Rather than preach his spiritual beliefs, Redfield likes to portray himself as a naive pilgrim, receiving wisdom and insights from the various guides and teachers he meets on his metaphysical journeys.<p> Shambhala is indeed a paradise, just as it was lovingly portrayed in the famous James Hilton novel <I>Lost Horizon</I>. It is also a spiritual utopia, and Redfield takes great pleasure in pondering the possibilities of living in a culture that is entirely "focused on the life process." Residents explain their lifestyle, which has emerged from a completely spiritual culture, including some rather sensible opinions about technology, parenting, and even genetic testing. Meanwhile, Redfield remains the wide-eyed observer. Those who loved the characters, writing style, and epiphanies in <I>The Celestine Prophecy</I> will not be disappointed with Redfield's latest inspirational portrait of a new world order. <I>--Gail Hudson</I> 1418330 1999 The Secret of Shambhala total:408|5:120|4:127|3:100|2:48|1:13| 408 1517 547 41 5 2 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Apr 25 19:11:56 -0700 2007 Wed Apr 25 19:25:20 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Apr 09 15:13:28 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 15:16:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false true Sat Nov 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Sep 29 12:21:01 -0700 2008 Wed Jan 14 06:30:27 -0800 2009
