Finished Another Book!

I really do like Andy Andrews books.  Always nice to read something uplifting and promising, instead of all the "bad" news that inundates us these days.  I just bought a Nook Color and am going to search for the rest of his books that I haven't read yet and download them for those days I need a boost.  
I have this year been trying to catch up on the "electronic" age.  Some things I resisted for a long time, just on some general principle.  But, now I really enjoy my digital photo frame, and with the NOOK, feel like I have really "come up".  Next, maybe, a smart phone of sorts, but not ready for the additional monthly bill.  


THE FINAL SUMMIT
by Andy Andrews
 Having read other Andy Andrews books, I was looking forward to this one. I must now go back and read The Traveler's Gift, although this book does make sense alone. It is a participant event, so to speak.....I kept searching for the answer, along with the Traveler's, to the question posed by Gabriel. The overwhelming feeling after reading it is one of hope, faith, and just sheer pleasure, with a sprinkle of foreboding. It is very entertaining and enriching to read the interactions between the Travelers from different historical eras. I was always interested in Joan of Arc in my childhood, and of course Winston Churchill is "larger than life". Having Mother Theresa and C.S. Lewis at the same forum, along with Cleopatra, and Dr. Schweitzer among others, and hearing everyone's opinions on what the answer might be really makes it one of those books you want to read straight through. I agreed with all of the answers offered, and thought of some of my own; but of course, without the final answer, none of the others matter!
