The Fifth Mountain

I found the book really intersting.This story may be considered religious, despite a strong focus on the theme of rebellion against God. In this book, Coelho has explored the manner in which the prophetic questioning of authority, rebellion and liberation, and 'thinking for oneself' are important in one's relationship with God and one's life work. 
For a considerable portion of the story Elijah is very compliant, obeying everything God's angels say. Eventually he realises that his destiny is not being chosen by him but by God. Ultimately he decides to,do go by his own desires and will. In this way Coelho suggests that Elijah was able to reach an ultimate level of spiritual awareness and have the most powerful relationship with God.
