Description
A Meeting. A Journal. A Price to Pay. A Life to Gain.
The Tollbooth: An Inspirational Story about One Man’s 40-Day Spiritual Journey follows the story of a business meeting between Mr. Robert Campbell, the CEO of a multinational conglomerate, and an employee who is looking for more. During this encounter, Mr. Campbell shares something he’s never shown to anyone: a hand-written journal. Within its pages, the employee learns invaluable life lessons, strategic business insights, and, most important of all, the secret to a transcendent life.
The Tollbooth is the second (and favorite!) of author John Feloni’s trio of books, which include “The Covenant Secret,” that propound and elucidate time-tested as well as contemporary philosophies on life and business. Each book is a modern-day exemplum, or parable, with the concepts presented in a riveting story that entertains as much as it educates.
“Hollywood Digest” writes that Mr. Feloni “makes the giving and sharing of ideas and hard knocks feel effortless.”

About the Author
WHY 40 DAYS?
In Biblical and spiritual terms, the number 40 stands for a period of gestation, of waiting, of growth, of cleansing, and of the development of spirit. During this period, a soul desirous of “enlightenment” will find him- or herself wandering in a spiritual wilderness and undergoing tests and trials on all planes of being. For example . . .
– During the Great Flood, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights.
– The Israelites wandered the desert for 40 years in search of the Promised Land.
– Moses spent 40 days on Mount Sinai in commune with God.
– After he was baptized, Jesus spent 40 days meditating in the desert.
– The Catholic Lent is for 40 days.
– After the resurrection, Jesus appeared to the apostles for 40 days.
– Buddha sat for 40 days under a tree before achieving enlightenment.
– The Archangel Gabriel first appeared to Mohammad when he was 40-years-old.
– A child lies some 40 weeks in the womb.
– Strangely enough, the author was 40-years-old when he finished this book in 1998.
