Old Souls

Compelling Evidence from Children Who Remember Past Lives

De: Tom Shroder

Narrado por: Jonathan Yen

All across the globe, small children spontaneously speak of previous lives, beg to be taken "home", pine for mothers and husbands and mistresses from another life, and know things that there seems to be no normal way for them to know. From the moment these children can talk, they speak of people and events from the past - not vague stories of centuries ago, but details of specific, identifiable individuals who may have died just months, weeks, or even hours before the birth of the child in question.

For 37 years, Dr. Ian Stevenson has traveled the world from Lebanon to suburban Virginia investigating and documenting more than 2000 of these past life memory cases. Now, his essentially unknown work is being brought to the mainstream by Tom Shroder, the first journalist to have the privilege of accompanying Dr. Stevenson in his fieldwork. Shroder follows Stevenson into the lives of children and families touched by this phenomenon, changing from skeptic to believer as he comes face-to-face with concrete evidence he cannot discount in this spellbinding and true story.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Engrossing...The journalistic objectivity Shroder brings to his material makes this an exceptionally valuable treatment of an often disparaged subject." ( Publishers Weekly)

Wanted to like it more

Account of travels with Ian Stevenson was somewhat interesting but was hoping to have more facts and less anecdotes.

This book concentrates on the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson

This book concentrates on the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson, who devoted his time to interviewing children from mainly Beruit,Lebanon, various parts of India and the US, who speak about a past life experience.Tom Shroder, A skeptic journalist, got an invitation to accompany Dr. Stevenson on his last trip to witness some of these interviews. Overall, the book is interesting and was worth reading. I would give it a 3-1/2 stars but you can’t do 1/2 stars on this site.

Great additional evidence to theory

People who enjoyed this book should supplement their knowledge with the work done by Farsight Remote Viewers and look up sessions called the death traps. Our government leaders have traded the souls of humans on our planet as collateral for advanced technology from non-human species aka aliens. After humans die on earth they should be able to go anywhere in the universe, but because of this deal, their soul are trapped then zapped of their memories to be recycled back here on earth. Or they use these souls to animate inanimate creations to act as slave labor or soldiers for wars. Keep trying to piece together the puzzle of the afterlife and our souls!

The best book on reincarnation I’ve read so far!!

I love the skepticism that the author keeps with him throughout the book. His resistance to accepting this notion of reincarnation seems so relatable and it really lends credibility to his research. This is a fascinating book.

Overacted narration, rough roads

Too much of the book is describing bad roads, poverty-stricken and war-torn towns. Narrator sounds condescending at times, and hammy.
