Matthew gets to Heaven believing his life was a complete loser: failed musician career in spite of a very promising start, failed marriage, no relationship with his child, ruined parents - he just made a complete mess of everything and barely survives as a musician in the London tube where he eventually gets murdered at the age of 27.
He meets his guardian angel and his soul, and both of them share with him an extremely positive perspective on all of his slip-ups, so much so that he can see the divine perfection that his life has been.
Matthew insists keeps asking more and more questions. Just like us all, he is clueless as to the purpose of incarnating on a planet where we do not know who we are and what we came to do.
In the end, his courage and persistence are rewarded with the final answers he longed for—indeed, the answers we all long for.
This novel is highly entertaining and very accessible, yet it helps us understand the subtle reasons behind our incarnation on this planet. Getting to see our lives through the point of view of our soul and our guardian angel helps us realize the hidden purpose of many of our thoughts and deeds. Our interpretation of our lives changes drastically when we include some key elements such as the subtle energies of orbs and egregores, the pre-birth agreements we made and the perspective of our souls on matter, conscience and evolution.
The abstract and difficult spiritual notions are accessible through a captivating plot, built around mystery, surprise and suspense.
