Not since The Shack and The Alchemist has there been a spiritual work that captivates people from all cultures with its profound message.A worldwide publication phenomenon that now includes 28 countries and 24 languages, The Slave by Anand Dilvar is a story that has to be read and shared. When the story begins, the narrator is trapped in a vegetative state, following a terrible accident that has paralyzed his whole body and is unable to communicate with those around him. Cut off from family and friends he begins an inner conversation with his spirit guide, a conversation which takes him on a journey of self-realization and through a near-death experience, eventually bringing him to a new state of awareness, and an understanding of his deepest self. In a world where so many feel that they have lost their way, THE SLAVE, though often harrowing, yet ultimately uplifting, will provide answers to all who wrestle with the eternal questions about the real purpose of our time on earth, and to reflect upon the direction of our own lives. Written with an engaging simplicity, this is a truly profound book which has the power to change lives. In fact to use the authors own words, it is designed to shake, shudder and wake us up. It is a book that has nothing to do with success, social recognition, with the accumulation of goods; but everything to do with joy, love and peace. Here is an excerpt from a rave review from a reader who was given an advance reading copy: I sit here amazed after reading this in one evening at my kitchen island..... I cried and hoped for the main character while absorbing and taking notes on all the little quotes I found inspirational and moving. Life is a gift, and we each have a unique life force. We should not cling to the past, but accept the present while realizing the power of the mind and belief. Cannot recommend this enough! A wise and wonderful book that will lift the mind and feed the heart. Robin Sharma, #1 worldwide bestselling author of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and The Leader Who Had No Title.
