The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho





I believe this book can speak for itself. It has many, many kernels of truth in it that lead toward God:

"I couldn't have found God in the seminary, he thought, as he looked at the sunrise."

 

"The old man pointed to a baker standing in his shop window at one corner of the plaza. "When he was a child, that man wanted to travel, too. But he decided first to buy his bakery and put some money aside. When he's an old man, he's going to spend a month in Africa. He never realized that people are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of." 



"When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision."

 

"The boy was beginning to understand that intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything, because it's all written there."

 

"Every second of the search is an encounter with God," the boy told his heart. "When I have been truly searching for my treasure, every day has been luminous, because I've known that every hour was a part of the dream that I would find it. When I have been truly searching for my treasure, I've discovered things along the way that I never would have seen had I not had the courage to try things that seemed impossible for a shepherd to achieve."
