Summary: I know we've met before...
Review: Michael Newton collected interviews with some of his patients about their experiences between lives. Intriguing? You bet!I am a mystic and have had memories of past lives, as have many people. My daughter recommended Journey of Souls, and in a conversation with her before I had received mine (her gift), I told her about my immediate past death and what happened afterwards. She was amazed as she said, "That's right." Why? The first thing I said was that I had died so many times that I knew what had happened to me. This was a familiar thread in this book because the trauma of death is exactly that--trauma; however, these interviews show hope and continuance. My journey through this book was a confirmation of what I already believed happens right after death and of what the between-world, the place of souls, is about. So, although there was not a lot of new information for me in the first third to half of the book, it made me feel very happy just reading it because the descriptions from others paralleled my own. There is nothing so rejuvenating as corroboration from a myriad of strangers. For anyone who wonders if there is life after death, this answers that question as well as providing insight into soul development and progression. One of the most interesting aspects were the "keys" that we memorize so that we will know certain people as they enter our lives; that feeling of "Gee, I know you," indeed is reality.

Summary: A Primer on the Soul
Review: I bought this book and read it on my vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii. I rented a condo (the Kona Reef) which sits right next to the waves coming in, hunkered down on the Lanai, and read this book with unending intensity. All I can say is, WHOW! What a book! Now I know why the color purple is rare and why, in some other books I have read, that healing goes on by advanced beings using purple light! This book is an absolute MUST READ for anyone who wants to know about what happens in the Afterlife. I sat there for hours ensconced in the quality of the dialog of the different cases, trying to self-relate to where I might be on the spiritual level of evolution. This is a monumental contribution to Spirituality, excellent read, to-the-point, extremely well organized. I was able to follow the entire book systematically in reasoning and logic. I found myself filling in big gaps in my understanding of what I thought the evolution of the soul was all about. From time to time I read passages that were confirmatory with many other details which I have gleened through many many books on NDE's, death, spiritual soul development, reincarnation and so forth. I am a little hesitant though in thinking that Karma is as important a facet of spiritual law as what it has been made out to be. That is, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction on a spiritual level? Michael points out that the soul does NOT have to reincarnate, although it is highly encouraged, as this speeds the development of the soul. I am a little disturbed to think that we are all on some kind of schedule for which our spiritual "betters" have us hustling along, even if we are reticent to come back here and undergo the fire of pain and pleasure. It appears in Mike's book, that souls are continuously created, which is what I thought for a long time until I read some contradictory things which said that God made all of our souls at once, so we are all of equal age. In context of God's Absolute Self, time does not exist, and so of course it would appear that all of us were created simultaneously in the ever present NOW. Yet, from my relativistic standpoint, there is the NOW that was, the NOW that is and the NOW that will be. If we all were created simultaneously, we all SHOULD be moving along the scheduled path approximately the same...though Mike says that each of us is developing at our own rate. What I found most alluring was the idea that because we are individually developing at different rates, as we advance as individuals, we CAN leave the Group Self. I am hoping (though I doubt it), that I am not a beginner soul....as 70,000 to 120,000 years seems to be a long LONG time to get somewhere. Heck, they were bagging bronto's back then! <chuckle> What Mike didn't cover was the fact that we can incarnate into the PAST! It appears in his book that we are all incarnating relative to progressive earth time as if the NOW of now and the future tie us to our incarnations...i.e., if we wanted to be born in Ancient Egypt, could we? Even though I just lead a 20th century life? Some sources I have read say YES...but it would be good if Mike could confirm this one for us. I am effusive about this work to the highest degree, it is INVALUABLE! Anyone who wants to know about what to expect, or at least get an idea of where they have come from, needs desperately to read this book! Mike, you get 6 Stars from me, A+++ or whatever, because this is one heck of a book!

Summary: Great for overcoming fear of death!
Review: The proposition this book offers on what happens after physical death is nothing short of amazing. This book really helped me overcome my fear of death and it has given me peace of mind. Also great for anyone who has lost a loved one. A must have page turner!

Summary: That's what I call a "Page Turner"!
Review: This book starts where most of the other of its kind stop. Almost everyone knows about the "Tunnel", the Light at the end of It, the Guides that await one after death, etc., but through methodic and unbiased research, Michael Newton almost proves to the non-initiated that everyone human being on this planet has lived before. The only drawback however is that he doesn't say how reach these "inner worlds" while still living in a human body.... fortunately, I have found other books that do exactly that. For instance, Harold Klemp's Soul Travellers of the Far Country, or Paul Twitchell's The Key to the Secret Worlds open anyone who has a genuine desire to "explore his/her inner worlds" CONSCIOUSLY ! I tried the techniques, and I was able to see some of my past-lives for myself... no, I can't prove it to anyone, but you sure can prove it to yourself! I just hope Michael Newton writes a sequel... I'll buy a case of them which I will give to family and friends without a doubt!

Summary: Holy Moly
Review: There are no victims, folks! All the dialogue, Light, costumes, Sound, action, roles, even Stage Right(stage fright? ) is agreed upon ahead of time! This book is equivalent to flinging open doors and windows, letting in blasts of fresh air to accompany Spring cleaning! I now know that I am exactly where I am suppose to be, as is everyone else. I may be sad and miss someone, but it is like when a person is gone on a trip and I will see them in a bit. The best thing I can do for the both of us is to smile and wave and say," Bon Voyage, I'll check you later! " This is simply wonderful, this book. I really enjoyed reading all the other reviews also. I read every single one.

Summary: What can I say that hasn't been said.
Review: This is the best book I have ever read on LIFE. I keep ordering it and giving the copies away. I'm almost driven to share this treasure with everyone. I've never been compelled to do this with other books. As everyone before has said-"it resonates with my soul". READ IT-you'll see.

Summary: Journey of Souls
Review: As with the other reviews I have read about Dr. Newton's Journey of Souls, I was so comforted. Finishing the book, I wanted to begin it again. It would be so wonderful to read more on this same subject. I feel a great peace after reading this book.

Summary: Dramatically changes your thinking!
Review: I had never given reincarnation any real thought. I grew up in traditional churches & accepted the Christian version of heaven and hell, although it disturbed me. Christianity always seemed to me like a "victim" religion where we are thrown into this world by God without the slightest concern about our own preferences and left bewildered and at his mercy concerning the bad things that happen to us (like Job of the Old Testament). It also seemed so unfair of God that each person should have only one lifetime, and that one lifetime consists of such horrible things for some people and not for others. Reincarnation makes so much more sense. It makes us each responsible for what happens to us and at nobody's mercy. It also makes the bad things easier to deal with. A friend of mine, who is HIV positive, said, "As bad as things may be, it still is easier to feel that we somehow had a part in "choosing" our circumstances for some "higher" reason rather than simply having them inflicted upon us for no comprehensible reason. I would recommend this book to everyone, whether you believe or not! It'll change your thinking about what you're doing here.

Summary: An excellent book! A real Life changer...
Review: I, too, felt a 'familiarity' with the contents of this book! I could not put it down. I truely find this book to be a blessing. About a month after reading it my mom passed away. I now KNOW that she is in a place of peace and that her decision to leave was made a long time ago. The knowledge from this book gave me comfort that I would not have known otherwise. A must read!

Summary: A Most Fascinating Book
Review: I can't remember when I've enjoyed a book as much as I did this one. Now my appetite is activated and I want more! The experiences of Mr. Newton and his clients touched me profoundly and rang true to my soul. So, I was delighted to have this book reach me, and I am waiting for Mr. Newton's next book.
