"Every Warrior of the Light has felt afraid of going into battle.
Every Warrior of the Light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone.
Every Warrior of the Light has trodden a path that was not his.
Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons.
Every Warrior of the Light has, at least once, believed he was not a Warrior of the Light.
Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his spiritual duties.
Every Warrior of the Light has said 'yes' when he wanted to say 'no.'
Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone he loved.
That is why he is a Warrior of the Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is."
~ Paulo Coelho, 21st century Brazilian writer
from Warrior of the Light
Coelho's book, Warrior of the Light: A Manual, serves as a companion guide to his enormously popular book, The Alchemist.
The book lives up to its advertisement that "Every short passage invites us to live out our dreams, to embrace the uncertainty of life, and to rise to our own unique destiny."
If you enjoy Coelho, you'll love this book.
Here's to the Warrior of the Light within each of us...

Testimonials
“I have been looking forward to getting onto my computer each day to see what you have in store for me that day. I read two things each day. A passage from the bible and now your newsletter. I use both of them to guide and inspire me throughout the following day. In my mind, you truly are a great philosopher! Keep up the great work. Thanks,”
~ Sylvia
