Love and Truth Above all else

An awesome story, filled with love and self sacrifice for the greater good of the human race. One mans greed for power which is his ultimate downfall, and one womans' sacrifice of the person she truly loves and her child so that freedom and equality can be enjoyed by all the citizens of the post war world. A story of how honesty and love will always conquer when you do the right thing, and stand up for what you believe no matter the consequences.

What a wonderful book.  While it is a novel, some of it is centered around truth, such as 2 of the main characters.  I highly recommend this book.

This story neither blinks nor flinches before the hardest truths any of us can face. Plus the truth is told and embraced with language that often soars, but never flinches. It is both theologically and scientifically rooted, but never maudlin or cheap. It may help anyone to embrace their mortality with heart and mind wide open.

This is an excellent combination of love and a higher calling.  It challenges the reader to question their own preconceived notions of love and spirituality.  I could not put it down.  Coelho takes you to Spain and leaves you longing to be by the river experiencing the beauty of the Goddess.  I recommend this to anyone who considers themselves to be a romantic, regardless of your spiritual walk.  Also, I recommend it to those who consider themselves to be spiritual warriors.  It speaks to both the same and touches the soul.

Love wanted it all. Wanted to believe it all. Life shows truths no words can surpass and the heart wants what it wants,no matter the consequences.

All mankind searches for the truth, hope, peace, love, kindness, strength, lasting and effective wisdom and the like, and so God in His compassion, understandings, grace and mercy has revealed the truths and answers for "Our" needs and concerns in both THIS LIFE and in and for the one after this in His heaven; a dimension that both His followers, His chosen and His children and He can and DO DWELL for all Eternity that IS without all our pain, sickness and evil that is here on this planet and IN this life. A book, and concept, well worth the evidence that it provides, reveals and produces for those who desire and choose HIS ways, over this world's evil, failures and pain!

Not a pleasant read, but a very necessary one.  Ayaan's chronicle of the harshness she has suffered in her life, her compassion and love for, above all, her father, mother and family, despite the abuse they inflicted on her, her gradual epiphany when she first experienced life in a non-Muslim country and society, and her courage in her efforts to address the inequities of Sharia, particularly in its treatment of women, is truly inspiring.  What she also touches on are the efforts by all too many in the western world to deny anything negative about Islam and suppress those would speak the truth and seek an enlightenment in that ideology .

The Lie was also, in fact, a truth. Tragedy marred the lives of all involved, and yet life went on, as it does, not always fairly.  At the heart of this story is love lost and love reborn.  Natasha and Brigs share an unspeakable pain that can only be healed by one another. Well told.

I was able to relate to this story, since there are similarities to my own family. The South is place of black and white, honor and extremes, love and sin, truth and hypocracy all come together. The story reflects on a southern society and what goes on even though some people don't walk to talk about it. The story is exciting, touching and heart warming. The ending was fantastic.

This is the most inspiring love story novel I've ever read. In a way it is based less on an external story, and more on being in the heart of transformation itself. This is for those who fancy relationship as a catalyst for awakening, for those yearn to access the divine through another, and for those who want more 'God' than can be found on a solitary journey or by being alone on a meditation cushion. Perhaps the writing itself would not highly impress a classical literary connoisseur, but it's not meant to... this is a work from the heart, attempting to put into words the wordless experiences of souls meeting, to convey the inner ecstasies and challenges in a kind of relating that invites all-of-each-other to show up, including shadow realms...

Ultimately I saw much of my own life story and loves reflected in this book in ways I've not seen anywhere else. I find the book helped me find greater clarity around my own joys and sorrows and the mysteries underneath them, and has me feel a greater gratitude for all of it.

If you want to find some inspiration and some reality checks for what's possible in a great love, read this book.

I loved how this book makes you think. It is a wonderful love story, not the mushy infatuation kind of love, but the real self-sacrificial kind of love. There were places where the story didn't flow perfectly, but it made me like it more, we all fumble along in life. This story tells the truth in that we are all allowed to choose weather we be happy and grateful for our blessings, or angry and sour tempered about all the wrong we see in our lives.

What a beautiful true story that transcends two worlds and brings us to the place where we are all the same - people made in the image of God.  I was moved to tears more than once, I smiled, laughed and cringed as I read through this amazing tale.  In one way it was shocking to see that in my lifetime there have been people living in the conditions of one man while others are living in the "lap of luxury".  But not only did God have to bring them from two extremes and bring them together, but then a sad event unites them.  This is a touching story that has pearls of wisdom and spiritual insight wrapped in a covering of a story that will keep you turning the pages for more.  Highly recommended!

This is a fictional story, but, I see so much truth in this writing that it's amazing. The story is interesting and uplifting. It lets everyone know that we all need to let our inner lights shine, clear and bright and have a true love of life. The characters are interesting and the plot has all the characters both good and evil to hold your interest. A really good book with interesting ideas.

As I read Yeshu'a Two, I found myself seeking and finding confirmation of different facets of Absolute Truth as I know and live and breathe It. It really didn't matter that I had little prior knowledge of the names, dates, places,  of facts woven throughout the book and the stories it tells. All that mattered was that I felt enveloped in a cocoon of caring, gentle, pure Love, from start to finish, and I emerged at the end with an even deeper sense of trust in the process of Life as it unfolds for and around and within me. I give heart and soul felt thanks to Pietro de la Luna for this immense gift of Spirit and am well aware that my own purification has intensified and quickened as a result of having received it.

Ancient memories
swiftly gain momentum as
cosmic cycles close

Opening to Truth
conspicuously concealed
through passage of time

Self recognition
regains a firm foothold in
conscious awareness

Crystallizing thoughts
as loving, swirling masses
of evolution.

With the racial climate what it is today this is a superb read.  The author brings us back to the truth of authority and weaves a story that brings forth a depth of love that is winsome.
