Scott Bishop

A SOUL’S CALLING was an okay read for me. It wasn’t what I expected. I am all for self discovery and being in touch with your soul, but was disappointed with the “spiritual” aspects. I am definitely not into spirits and/or seeing/talking with them. I am very skeptical when it comes to this and so was disappointed. I agree that sometimes you have to listen to your heart and therefore I continued to read and did enjoy the aspects he describes such as the peacefulness and attraction to the Himalayan Mountains, the energies, and the beauty. Overall, not a bad novel

A SOUL’S CALLING, Scott Bishop, Wanderlust Publishing House, (January 4, 2013), Print Version: 341 pages, 0615695353

Once in a great while a book lands in my lap that is breathtakingly beautiful and at the same time personally illuminating. Such is the case with A Soul’s Calling by Scott Bishop.

This is the story of Scott who has the ability to communicate with the Other Side. It is during his encounter with the Spirit World that he realizes his soul is in jeopardy. As he grapples with this revelation, he makes a choice to travel to Nepal. He expects a mythical adventure that will take courage, but his soul beckons him to go. He must face Mount Everest in hopes that the Spirits will help to mend his soul.

Scott is an attorney who is not exactly your typical experienced mountain climber. He describes himself as conservative, predictable and responsible. Undaunted, he researches the feasibility of the trek and physically trains for the arduous journey. He gathers a melange of symbolic objects and prayers with obvious personal significance. He believes he will need these things when he reaches Base Camp. Along with the requisite guide, (reticent and wary of the American) Scott is eager to begin the climb. Soon he realizes his preparations have fallen very short of his actual needs and he must adjust. The challenges begin early on as he must overcome his fear of heights and acclimate to breathing at high altitude. On the ascent, each stage of the climb gets harder, with seemingly endless stairs and rugged terrain. Each day he feels weaker with increasing doubts and an ominous outlook.

A Soul’s Calling will take you where most will never go. The author builds drama and captures the nuances of the sweeping resplendent landscape. He allows all senses to experience this man’s pilgrimage, the natural rhythm of his journey unfolds with fluidic imagery. The prose is rich with visual brilliance, words so carefully blended together. Scott Bishop captures the majestic and graceful soul of these virginal peaks. He unveils the simple serenity and spectacular attraction of the Himalayan Mountains. A Soul’s Calling is a humbling and reflective novel that will polarize most readers.

From the start of the book, I could not put it down. It's truly an enlightening experience into the most questioned topic about Spirit visits when we are living after death. He communicates his messages very clearly and precise. There's no room for questioning, "What did he mean by that". A Soul’s Calling gave me insight, energy and created a feeling of peace I have ever felt after reading a book.

A Soul’s Calling is soulful, insightful and informative. This book is truly a must read for anyone who has ever questioned life, love and loss. Scott Bishop’s writing encourages and challenges all to open our hearts, minds and souls to the universal law of love. He neither endorses nor disparages any religion yet beautifully validates that a God, by whatever name undoubtedly exists. His message inspires hope and remind us we are truly never alone, we all have a purpose and death is definitely not an ending. This has to be one of the most thrilling and fascinating books on the subject of higher realms that I have ever encountered. There is far more going on around us than we can ever imagine.

A Soul’s Calling is also an in-depth look at spirituality from the perspective of a higher state of awareness. Angels and spirit guides that come from a place of non-judgment and love. They give us an unbiased look at modern day society, humanity and religion. Specific instructions are given on ways to improve our life, to improve our relationship with God and to receive personal guidance from the Heavens. A Soul’s Calling goes beyond what happens when we are alive and die. As a spirit inhabiting a human body, we learn what is really important about this earthly journey. Our perception of problems and heartaches are seen differently when viewed from the vantage point of an Angel or Spirit.
