A SIMPLE GUIDE TO SPIRITUAL DISCOVERY

From my own heart when I was very young, I am thankful to have found this book, which speaks so simple to our inner child. It is an excellent dialogue between our pure and innocent essence and its inner revelations. This conversation between the two sheds renewed light, and offers a different perspective from the traditional theological theories as well. The language is simple and readily understood which guides the reader with the same freshness of a child without prejudices and without guilt The reading of this book propels us to search on our own for the answers to the fundamental questions of humanity: life and death, freedom, our mission, etc.

Deep and inspiring

This is the beautifully crafted story of a boy who finds his inner guide. Jesus appears to the boy as a symbol of the love that is already in him and teaches him, through a series of conversations, that the answers are never outside, but within. Listening to his guide, the boy learns how to look beyond appearances to that sweet spiritual perspective that inspires and heals. This inspiring story, universal in application, will delight any spiritual seeker.

Prophetic metaphor

I think Pietro is like one of those ancient prophets who called forth their truths in the wilderness. He is clearly "called" to publish these simple, transformational truths in metaphors that model learning and remembering for the reader. The Boy & The Prophet is a mind meal to be relished, rich in memorable epigrams, quotables, and spiritual sayings to store in the depths of your heart. It's an easy, pleasant, child-like read that can guide consciousness shift, from the world of external media toward the infinite wisdom of inner knowing.

A wonderful book.

A wonderful book. The Boy and the Prophet is one of those books we should have close at hand read again and again. Jesus shows Himself in such a spiritual dimension that the child each one of us has will understand it without anybody else interpreting it for us. Many thanks to the author for this wonderful message of love.

A TIMELESS ENCOUNTER WITH FRUITFUL RESULTS

THE ENCOUNTER OF THE BOY WITH THE PROPHET LED ME TO MY OWN SPIRITUAL DISCOVERY. THE BOOK PRESENTS A DIALOGUE WHICH IS SIMPLE AND EASY TO READ. HOWEVER, THE THOUGHTFUL LINES TAKE TIME TO DIGEST IN THEIR VAST AND PROFOUND MEANING. DESTINY, AMBITIONS, DEATH, LOVE, FEAR, TIME ARE SOME OF THE TOPICS THAT PIETRO GRIECO DESCRIBES WONDERFULLY.
