Lifting the Wheel of Karma by Paul H. Magid

Lifting the Wheel of Karma
A Profound Spiritual Journey
of Extraordinary Healing and Redemption
by Paul H. Magid

Published: 2011
Publisher: Point Dume Press
Genre: Spirituality
Paperback: 194 pages
Rating: 4

Amazon | Barnes&Noble

Joseph Connell is a gifted high school athlete from Montana, loved deeply by his family, yet tormented by nightmarish visions he can neither explain nor escape.

He believes the answer to what threatens to crush him can be found in the knowledge possessed by a mystical old wise man, who lives deep within the remote Himalayas of India.

If Joseph is ever to find the peace he so desperately seeks, he must get this wise old man to reveal what he truly knows, but that will not be easy...for this sage knows far more than he admits.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): destiny
Interesting read that gives a kind of perspective into life, what was life and how to move on with life. Gets you thinking of reincarnation and its workings.

I especially liked how this read took me to different landscapes and cultures throughout the journey.
