The Divine Arsonist: A Tale of Awakening

Jacob has written a story that could be read by anyone. It moves along at a pace that kept my interest and at times I was reluctant to put it down and felt on occasions that I couldn't wait to pick it up again to see what happens next. A sure-sign of a good read for me.In its simplest form it is an adventure experienced by a 'successful' business man who lives in the fast corporate world where succeeding is measured by the physical things one has acquired. This journey takes him to places some of us may only dream of seeing but it is not easy and the people he meets ask him to relinquish his much desired and fought for possessions and possibly even his way of life and the people who inhabit that life with him.In its much deeper more profound form it is about reaching that point in life where something has to give but we don't know how or why we have that need. It is about trusting the intuition and gut feelings we have that take us away from the norm in order to experience the extraordinary. It is a rich story about awakening to the much bigger picture of love and joy that can only be found when we surrender and that can never be found in possessions.This book has many layers but is about a spiritual awakening in a 'good' man which turns his life and that of his family on its head never to be the same again. It is heart warming and will give hope to many finding life difficult.Thank you Jacob for your vision,trust and surrender.

Divine Arsonist charts the extraordinary adventures of a business man chasing the American dream. Yet something changes when an intriguing stranger invites him to see the world in a different way. He has a sense that if he accepts the invite things will never be the same again.Those who aren't on any spiritual path can read this as a straightforward story, but will doubtless find themselves in some of the pages.Those on all religious and spiritual paths will be able to relate to many of the aspects of the journey:The challenge to see the world a new way. The clinging to our material possessions, our status and our self image, only to be challenged to lose it all. The fear of what others will think of us if we change. The loosening of unhealthy bonds to any prescribed system of thought or belief as we fall into an awareness of Unity. The thought that we may just be going mad. The growing awareness that we are meeting the Truth. The decision that we no longer want to live with the lies, even if it means seeing things about ourselves and the life we have lived that we would rather not see. The falling in love with Love itself.How much of the story is accurate the reader does not know. But I do know the book holds within it a larger spiritual truth that many of us will recognise. Thank you to Jacob Nordby for encouraging us on our own spiritual journeys.

Really good read didn't want to put it down

What a journey! a powerful story of a mans encounter with more than he expected and the profound learning that changes why we live.

Wonderfully written account of a spirtual awakening with a strong message and story throughout . Easy to identify with the author's journey, the range of feelings and emotions are deeply explored and explained. A great read.

I simply could not put this book down. It is a rare and very special story, read, digest and understand what is being said behind the words. I wish I was a teacher, I would try to make every child I knew READ this book. Certainly my children will.

A very poignant store that will echo the experiences of many who have burnt out on life's rat- trap. Nicely sums up the wake up call that could be just around the corner for many people who base their worth on irrelevant metrics.Thank you Jacob
