Children's Past Lives : How Past Life Memories Affect Your Child

Rating:
Summary: Readable, scholarly, innovative and wonderful!
Review: This is such a phenomenal book! It is readable, scholarly, innovative and just plain wonderful! The attention to detail is throughout the book. It reads as good as any novel. As a metaphysician I recommend it often, especially to those who are sceptical or to people who may not believe what their children are saying and toss it off as childhood imagination. I know children are more connected to the spirit world before the age of 4 and have known it all my life but I dared not say it because early on I was told "that's crazy, that's not true." You quickly learn to shut up about what you see, feel, think and know when it is not accepted by the adults in your life. This fantastic book is giving permission to wonderful parents all over the world to learn from their children the truth of Life on many different levels and perhaps give them the courage to investigate their own past lives, or at least look deeper within themselves about this one. Brian Weiss M.D.'s book, "Many Lives, Many Master's," or "Through Time into Healing," are books that I recommend highly if you want to find out about your own past lives or other adults who've experienced this. Bless both Carol and Brian for "coming out" with this deeper truth about all of us. Thank you.

Summary: An exiciting book about the spiritual lives of children
Review: This is the most informative book on children, past lives and their regressions I have read. The book gives a great overview of the research on children remembering past lives. This gives a lot of credibility to the book. I believe in reincarnation, but I sometimes wonder about the validity of the information that is out there. The stories of children and thier families who have experienced past life recall helped me recognize some instances that my children were having past life memory and I was not sure where the information was coming from. The information is helpful regarding the soulful development of our children.

Summary: Terrific!
Review: This is truly one of the best books I've read. I have loaned it out and even bought copies for others and everyone I know who has read it has found it to be just fascinating. Mrs. Bowman really puts a twist on the subject of reincarnation. I never really considered it as a valid possibility until I was faced with the question "If there is no such thing as past lives, then how come these children have this kind of information?" Children's Past Lives totally turned my perspective around. Anyway, it's an awesome book and I'd recommend it in a heartbeat!

Summary: Reincarnation
Review: Truth or myth. My husband died recently and I have been reading alot about reincarnation. This book appealed to me because I have often wondered about family and friends coming back to live another life.

I have been a christian most of my life, I was saved at the age of 12. I never really wondered until after my children were born. Although most Christians make fun of reincarnation I have found that it has increased my faith in God and Jesus and helped me to better understand His word.

My Uncle had been like a father to me, he and my aunt were always there for me. My father never worked a day if he could help it. My mother was chronically depressed. We lived with this Aunt and Uncle most of my childhood.

In 1973 my uncle died at 53 of heart failure. I had 2 children by then and did not want any more. Surprisingly, even though I was on the pill, I got pregnant at the end of 1975. In April of 1976 I gave birth to a little girl.

This child has been there for me at every trouble I have had, esspecially the death of my husband. She has been my rock and my staunch ally throughout all of her life. If I have a need she is there. My other children are very like her, in that I only have to ask and they are there for me. All are very supportive. But she seems to find my needs before I do.

But when she was small, only 2 years old, she would cry every time I mentioned my Uncle's name, and when we went to the cemetary she became very upset. I wish I had read this book at that time. I would have asked her questions.

When I ask her now she remembers crying, she says she felt at that time that she knew him. Now she is 27 and says she doesn't feel like that now.

This book opens up alot of questions and I found it an amazing record that is very well written. If you are interested in this phenomona I highly recommend this book.

Summary: One of the most captivating and enlightening books
Review: When I started reading Carol Bowman's book "Children's Past Lives" it was very difficult to put it down because it was so interesting in terms of the children's past lives' details and Carol's analysis of these details. Carol's book is enlightening and captivating for many reasons and one of them is the way in which she structured the information. I found the book to be very inspiring to read because she included diverse and supportive information which effectively broadened the perspective of her book. An example of such information is to be found in the first half of the book. Here she exemplifies some of her ideas by citing Dr. Ian Stevenson's research into the past lives of children born in India. Carol's description of the traumatic aspects of and the way in which these children's past lives were terminated helps to show the variety and complexity of children's past lives. Another example of such information is to be found towards the end of her book. Here she provides a brief history of the development of Christianity and the degree of relevance which reincarnation once had on Christianity's evolution. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Carol Bowman's book to anyone who is interested or curious about children's past lives or past lives in general. It will certainly broaden their understanding and enhance their interest in this subject.
