Summary: Have we lived before, or not?
Review: Are negative and positive emotions, eradicated, from the mind by physical death, as many believe? The author of this book attests to the contrary. She presents one of the most fascinating instances of reincarnational evidence ever recorded in history. Jenny remembers having lived her most recent existence in Ireland as an individual named Mary Sutton. Since her childhood Jenny worries about some young children she consciously recalls leaving behind after a premature death in her most recent life. Mary Sutton was born in 1898 and died in 1930, while Jenny was born some 24 years after Mary's death. Along her life, she could remember and had constant revelatory dreams of her brief and traumatic life as Mary. After an investigation, Jenny was able not only to meet and converse with her past life kids, but to corroborate most of her recalled incidents. She proved that we live many lives, that those adults were actually her past life offspring. The author, admits being puzzled by the absence of past life memories in others, that most people could not remember their past lives. This case represents a vivid example of the torment caused by what is usually termed: unfinished business.

Summary: A Mother's Love
Review: From the time Jenny Cockell was very young, she had memories of another life in Ireland as Mary Sutton, the mother of eight children, who died before her children were grown. The anxiety over leaving her children dependant on their alcoholic father plagued Mary during her own death and on into her next life. In Chapter 3 First Steps Into My Past, Cockell discusses a scientific explanation for reincarnation, describes the testing of her psychic abilities at Nene College in Northampton via electroencephalograph and her hypnotic regression sessions and how they affected her. Later she discusses the research she did to confirm the details she'd discerned in her childhood dreams and in her regression sessions, the search for Mary's children and her subsequent meetings with them. This story was first brought to my attention when I saw Jenny Cockell on a television talk show upon the book's release. I immediately went out and purchased a copy. The story is so compelling that I read it cover to cover, neglecting all else that day. I have reread it many times since then. It will make a believer out of you!

Summary: Excellant book!
Review: Jenny Cockell's book on her reunion with her past life children is beautiful and inspiring. It demonstrates that love can not die, and that we are all eternally connected. Mrs. Cockell is an excellant writer. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in spirituality and, more specifically, reincarnation.

Summary: Totally Engrossing -- Beautifully Told
Review: Many of us experience deja vu, that sense of knowing something or having been somewhere before, even though we know intellectually that we shouldn't or couldn't known or have experienced it. Jenny Cockell not only knew about her "other" family, but invested an immense amount of energy to trace and validate her feelings. After having seen the American made-for-TV movie about this story, I had to read the book... and I was not disappointed.. in fact, the story gripped me from beginning to end. It is rare to find someone with the degree of passion that Cockell relates, even rarer to find someone willing to go to great lengths to fulfill that passion. Mothers, especially, will understand her sense of responsibility to the children she "knew" in what she believes was her past life. The book is honestly written, emotional, and pure. I would hope she writes more of this journey and the present lives of "her children." I do believe in reincarnation and psychic phenonomen, and this book strengthened my beliefs as well as providing a delightful and insightful reading experience.

Summary: Stunning Documentary
Review: This book was fascinating! I have read many books about reincarnation including My Search for Bridie Murphy, The Search for Grace and others. This book by Jenny Cockell was, by far, the best. She is an excellent writer which makes this book a page turner. I couldn't put it down! The facts are astounding. I don't know how anyone could read this and not go away believing in reincarnation. Nothing this author went through could be determined by mere dreams. There is so much more to grasp than someone intrepreting a dream or simply a spirit guide leading Jenny to find the children of Mary Sutton. Jenny WAS Mary Sutton!

Summary: A very convincing case!
Review: This is one of the most convincing reincarnation cases I've come across in a long time. Jenny Cockell not only had memories of a past life, she actually found her children -- now all grown up -- from that life. This story was featured on a number of U.S. TV programs when the book first came out, featuring both Jenny and the children from that life. Her still-living children, being devout Roman Catholics, do not believe in reincarnation per se, but went on record as saying that somehow, their mother "speaks through" Jenny, and they verified details of her memories. I met Jenny Cockell at a conference in Oslo, Norway, in 1994 and found her to be totally sincere and quite credible. I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Truly authentic
Review: This is truly authentic and inspiring stuff. The writing is simple and down to earth. While Jenny has no intention of forcing reincarnation down any one's throat, her painstaking documentation will hopefully make believers out of die hard non-believers. I also hope that this book will help people open their minds to a higher and more universal truth. Truth that some religious institutions have, willfully and deliberately, suppressed for more than 15 centuries.
