Knowing the real purpose of life is a difficult thing to do for many people. Some purposes are driven by ego, some are peer groups, some are family influences, and some are current trends in society. The case of Amanda in the book, Rise of the Savior: Acolyte of Truth by Antoine Bonner, is no different.

The book is a fiction story comprising twenty-three chapters and four hundred seventy-nine pages. It is centered on the girl, Amanda. She has a purpose to pursue a career in karate, which her father initially found confusing but accepted. He made a deal with her to win the upcoming championship. Unfortunately, she lost. Amanda and her father were involved in an accident on their way back and were taken to the hospital. In an unconscious state, she was transferred to a strange world where she met Leyna, a spiritual being who introduced himself and briefly told her about the future of the world she came from. Amanda returned to her world and found some reality in what she was told. She later met with another spiritual being, "Ameena," who told her about the real purpose of her existence, which is to save lives and the world. Will she accept her true calling or pursue another career? I encourage you to read the book to find out.

There are a lot of positive aspects to the story; the characters were well developed. The language was not ambiguous, so it makes it easy and interesting to read. The chapters were relatable, thereby aiding in sustaining my attention and concentration till the end.

Another thing I like about the book is the moral lesson it teaches. It taught me that life is about living for others and not for yourself. The life experience of Amanda is evidence in this regard. She focused on protecting her sister and taking revenge against Jamie, who killed her parents and was also looking for a way to kill her sister, too, yet she could not defeat Jamie until she humbled herself and made the sacrifice of giving herself up for the cause of saving mankind, which was her major purpose in life before she could defeat Jamie and end the war physically and spiritually.

There is nothing I disliked about the book. It’s a book I would like to read over and over again if time permitted me. However, I encountered a few errors in the story, but that is not enough to deny the fact that the book is highly enjoyable because it teaches moral lessons. Given this, I give Antoine Bonner's Rise of the Savior: Acolyte of Truth 4 out of 4 stars, and it is professionally edited. I, therefore, recommend the book for people who want to know how to discover their major purpose in life and also master the art of managing the purpose to fulfillment.

I have read and reviewed this book, but unfortunately, I did not enjoy it as much as you did. The plot was hilariously ridiculous to me. Thank you for the review, however!

The book has a totally different plot than I thought it would have based on the cover and title! However, it sounds rather interesting. It is not the type of book I usually read, but I might check it out! Thanks for the great review!
