About This Book
The Twelve is an extraordinary and unforgettable novel about a most
unusual man. As a child, Max lives in a world of colors and numbers, not
speaking until the age of six. As an adult, Max ventures on a journey of
destiny to discover the secret behind the ancient Mayan prophecy about
the "end of time," foretold to occur on December 21, 2012.
When he is fifteen years old, Max has a near death experience during
which he has a vision that reveals to him the names of twelve unique
individuals. While Max cannot discern the significance of these twelve
names, he is unable to shake the sense that they have deep meaning.
Eight years pass before Max meets the first of the twelve.
With this, Maxs voyage of discovery begins, as he strives to uncover
the identities and implications of "the twelve"?individuals he will meet
during his journey towards truth, all of whom seem connected, and all of
whom may hold the answer to what will happen at the exact moment the
world may end. The novel takes the reader on a series of global
adventures, culminating in a revelation of why and how Max and the
twelve are destined to unite to discover the magnitude of the meaning of
December 21, 2012. Only the twelve can provide the answers, as the fate
of all humanity rests in the balance.
"Entertaining and inspiring."
--Eckhart Tolle, author of A New Earth
"I have never enjoyed a novel more than The Twelve. [William
Gladstones] theme and message of hope and inspiration is exactly what
Jack Canfield and I worked so hard to achieve with our Chicken Soup for
the Soul book series."
--Mark Victor Hanson, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series
