"This is a modern-day adventure story featuring Paulo's supernatural encounter with angels -- who appear as warrior women and travel through the Mojave desert on their motorbikes. Haunted by a devastating curse, Paulo is instructed by his mysterious spiritual master to embark upon a journey -- to find and speak to his guardian angel in an attempt to confront and overcome his dark past. The Valkyries is a compelling account of this forty day quest into the searing heat of the Mojave Desert, where Paulo and his wife, Chris, encounter the Valkyries -- warrior women who travel the desert on motorcycles, spreading the word of angels. This exotic spiritual odyssey is a rare combination of truth, myth, imagination and inspiration. Ultimately it is a story about being able to forgive our past and believe in our future."
My favorite Quotes from the book:
"Punish us because we challenged what exists, what everyone else accepts, what most others want to remain unchanged.
"Punish us because we speak of faith,and we feel hopeless. And we speak of Love,but we receive neither the affection nor the comfort we feel we deserve. We speak o freedom, and we are prisoners to our own guilt."
"You will still have many problems in your life,some of them normal, some of the difficult. But, from now on, only God's hand will be responsible for everything-you will interfere no more."
"I have loved many", Rotha said. "But spurned true love." "I have nourished hatred for years,and avenged myself over things that were unimportant," Paulo continued. "I was always forgiven by my friends,but never learned how to forgive them in return."
