Description of  The Divine Arsonist: A Tale of Awakening

(excerpt from page 300) ...BURN THIS BOOK Why would author, Jacob Nordby, ask you to read his new novel, then burn it? This is no ordinary book. Fact and fiction weave together in this autobiographical tale of spiritual awakening. The main character is a burned-out businessman who takes an unplanned retreat to his cabin in the mountains of Idaho. On the first evening of his getaway, a mysterious stranger appears beside his campfire and delivers a summons: "Drop everything and attend a rendezvous of destiny...the fate of the world may depend upon it." He is confronted with a terrifying choice: believe this stranger and take a journey into the unknown, or ignore the whole thing and perhaps miss his call of destiny? Join the main character on an adventure of the spirit. With him, you will meet a cast of divine helpers, shaman monks and ragged teachers who will captivate your imagination. Rich with insights, quotations and teachings of sources ranging from ancient to modern, this book is a breath of fresh air for the soul. Like the hero in this tale of awakening, you may never see life the same way again. Author's note: This book tells a story using symbolic language and fictional situations. It is my own tale of spiritual awakening, though. In it, I share some of my most personal and exciting discoveries. I hope you enjoy it...and I hope you burn it when you're done. Find out why in Chapter 15.
