Review:
5.0 out of 5 stars compelling writing, as can only be gifted from this amazing author
This is the fifth of Coelho’s books for me. As I have come to expect, I will not be given a book to read. I will be given a lesson to complete and mentally review for years to come. I dit test, so-called self-help books, But Coel hose books are literary works with an undercurrent of self-help. I have no doubt that I will carry nuggets of wisdom I found in this book with me for the rest of my life. I apologize if this comes across as hero, worship, but I would much rather it be this wise author than a dangerous narcissist.
5.0 out of 5 stars My World View Turned Upside Down
I loved this story for its wisdom and challenge to look on adversity in a completely different light. With God as his master, Elijah could look straight into the jaws of death without fear, as he saw our existence on earth as a training ground for the soul, and God, in his infinite wisdom and timing would do what God chose to do in ending or prolonging one’s life. Implicit, to me, was Elijah’s deep seated belief that God works in ways mortals view as devastating, when the true reality is that God is good, and adversity brings about growth and change.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good read
This book is a fictional extension of the story of Elijah from the bible. In my opinion it was a bit emotional, but is packed with many life lessons, including one that I had just recently discovered from reading a book by Iyanla Vanzant. This lesson is that if you do not make a choice, you will live by default. In this book by Coelho, Elijah had trouble making a choice, therefore God made the choice for him and hence, Elijah had to live with the consequences of that choice. It was a good book. Paulo also was able to make references to some of the characters in his other books. I was only able to pick up on 2 as I have only read 2 other of his books, not including this one. A reference was made to The Alchemist as well as to Warrior Of The Light.
5.0 out of 5 stars Do you hear ME God?
"The Fifth Mountain" is one of Coelho's earlier works, one in which he takes us to biblical times and events. He brings us the story of the prophet Elijah, whom we follow along, he and his tormented soul, through this landscape so tormented unto itself; this land of Levites, Curses, Tribunals, Angels, Israelites—Gods Will Be Done.Coelho was raised up in the Catholic Church, not, as many assume, in some far—out, new—agey, spirit to light seeking kind of religion. His traditional religious upbringing shows up in this beautifully written, powerful tale of a young Elijah, beginning with his quest for a better understanding of his visions."Since childhood, he had heard voices and spoken with angels. This was when he had been impelled by his father and mother to seek out a priest of Israel who, after asking many questions, identified Elijah as a *nabi*, a prophet, a "man of the spirit," one who "exalts himself with the word of God."So begins his search for meaning amidst the backdrop of the never—ending violence and chaos of the times, and always, the search for God, God's Word, God's Love, God's Strength, His Wisdom and Grace. Do you hear *me* God?There is also an element of physical love here, which is hard enough for any man, in easier times, to really grasp and hold onto. All the harder for young Elijah.This is one my favorite "Little Coelho's" plucked from his "Tree" on which he has mapped out his literary pilgrimage.Highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars Another Powerful Book by Coelho
I have read quite a few "Coelho" books to date, and am truly amazed by the powerful insights woven within the stories of each and every one! In fact, I have yet to read a book by this author that has not moved me in some way."The Fifth Mountain" is a story written about the biblical figure Elijia - his trials & tribulations, as well as his joys, loves & great accomplishments. In a very interesting way, the author guides the reader through the many lessons to be learned through the life of this prophet and all those he touched.Some of the lessons/insights that I realized/remembered through reading "The Fifth Mountain" include:*Through every hardship we go through, there is a lesson to be learned - so be on the lookout for what lessons/insights are showing up in your life, and take heed.*Freedom is the ability to follow your heart without concern for the opinions of others.*We must CHOOSE rathter than ACCEPT our fateOverall, I found this book to be an easy, interesting, powerful read - with many great insights woven into a memorable fable-type story. I would recommend this author to everyone!
5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read!!!
I have recommended this book to many people, its such a good book to read and it helped me to understand God's purpose. The story of Elijah, in scripture, is one of my favorites. To read a version of his story like this was needed for me. God's plan will come to pass and we may not understand in the moment why things happen but when they fog disappears and everything clears we can reflect and see why God moves in certain ways.
4.0 out of 5 stars Left me thinking for days.
Though provoking and had me constantly searching up historical details. I really enjoy his writings, but I'd like the Alchemist better. I probably should have read this one first as I kept comparing it to the Alchemist.
perfetto
consegna rapidissima ed articolo conforme alla descrizione, solo la copertina è veramente in carta leggerissima, ma non si può avere tutto ;)
Inspiring book about life, its purpose, suffering and challenges.
The author tells the story about Elijah's life which was filled with adventure, suffering, challenges and love. It shows how a series of events in life in the end creates a coherent picture of mission and purpose.
Fantastic
It's very good book to readVery inspirational and simple language easy to read and understand..Recommend
