Perfect for seekers of personal growth, divine faith, healing, and transformation, this national bestseller—from profoundly beloved and bestselling author Paulo Coelho—comes a variety of parables and stories pulled from Coelho's celebrated daily columns. As he explains, “Maktub is not a book of advice—but an exchange of experiences.”
