What started as a primitive Hollywood story turned to be a real treasure at the end. Maybe we still need the most important information to be given to us in the form of a fairy tale like in the childhood. Although, this is not the book for everyone, sometimes it comes too early, sometimes it comes by mistake, sometimes you need a couple of lives to realize it was on time and meant exactly for you.
The main character of the book is Michael. Lonely and unhappy he drags out his miserable existence going to work he hates, doing things he can hardly stand (how rare!). Only after he was severely bitten and found himself in the hospital he started thinking MAYBE SOMETHING WAS WRONG (there is something masochistic about human beings after all). He started his long journey home which was in reality his journey to God that is to himself. Simple but true.
What I like most about this book is the idea about the contracts we conclude before every life on Earth with a number of lessons to learn, with no actual failures as only experience, only the journey itself matter. Then suddenly the world gets less cruel, all the injustice is justified, bad guys appear to help you to learn... ideal. It does not always work (I have checked) or maybe I am not enlightened enough to face certain dramas of life with Olympic calm. But often when I look back it makes perfect sense.
The Journey Home is one night reading to leave you thoughtful for sure. It will wrap you in that warm feeling that you are absolutely loved, that you are safe, that you are in the right place. It will prove yet another time that we are not always given what we want but always what we need.
