Together in Paradise
In this thought provoking follow up to Slone's first allegorical masterpiece, The Great Mystery, we are once again reminded to slow down, and be inspired by Life.
As part of his ongoing effort to shift our focus to a more interdependent reality, Slone uses this story to remind us of the world's most powerful, and universal law: "The Golden Rule."
Through both tragedy and triumph, this creative experience invites the reader to reflect on the path of his or her own life, and consider the unseen ripple effects of our seemingly mundane choices.
Together in Paradise remains packed with the same adventure, intrigue, emotion, and wisdom that we have come to expect from this imaginative storyteller.
So, is Heaven really some vaguely understood, and distant spiritual realm... or are we there already, on a global quest for the rediscovery of this perfect, and ancient truth? Read for yourself, and decide.
As a social worker, the author will use proceeds of this book to promote social justice in the world.

This was a fascinating read! I didn't find it preachy at all, just a really smooth, lovely lesson that we could all benefit from. It was not based on any religion, and was interesting. I am very thankful to have won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway!

I won this book in a Goodreads.com Giveaway and I'm glad I did.
"Together is Paradise" is a well written book of one of my Father's sayings when we were kids, "Treat people better or like you want to be treated." We hear similar phrases from sources all the way back to the Bible.
Travis puts this in perspective in his book. Well written, fast read with a great reminder of the values that we grew up with.

I received this book free from Goodreads (first reads). I enjoyed the book until the ending p, and it had a good lesson to learn. I believe in the message being passed. Do good to others, and the story that portrayed the message was both uplifting and moving as you follow the characters through their time of growth. The actions in the story were essential when it came time for the ending to be dealt with.
I did find it a little hard to believe or to come to terms with the ending and how it all worked out. I do not want to ruin the ending, but it seemed that the way things turned out were just not very believable. A little too out there with a pretty little bow on it.

A spiritual adventure that any reader, of any age will enjoy. Quick read, but really a profound message: live by the Golden Rule. This book really made me consider the "after-life" concept as well... Some deep stuff for a short book, but the ploy kept it interesting. A real page-turner

Found this on my kindle, and loved it. Easy read, but well worth the time.
