Review: Gutsy Spiritual Growth "Thriller"
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 28, 2013
In a meaty, down-to-earth, well-constructed, well-paced novel that reads like a thriller, has the elements of a Greek tragedy, and keeps you turning pages way past 6 a.m., behavioral scientist-author, inspired teacher Dr. Harry Jay takes a brilliant, creative, loving, and sometimes playful approach to spiritual growth. He weaves a tale of steely impact as bigger-than-life, survive-by-your-gut-instincts war hero Joshua Olivion, now "predator" investment banker, faces his personal demons to grow with help from Attillo, a wizened old Italian and neighbor, in the direction of love. As new directions in life present, Joshua begins to understand that we are ultimately the end result of our choices. The first in a series of six books, this whets the appetite for more. Highly recommended.
