Search for a Soul

Mesmerizing book. This book was written in 1973 and is definitely appealing to any generation as it broaches the time old question of reincarnation. I have always been a fan of Taylor Caldwell's books and wondered if, indeed, she was an historian. This answers my question. It opens up possibilities why some people have phobias about certain things or why, when you meet someone, you may take an immediate like/dislike to that person. The quality of the book, though used, was in very good shape.

One excellent book for those interested in past life regression therapy. The real astral history of one of the best novel writers of our time: Taylor Caldwell

While in medical school I realized the body is nothing without the soul and started reading about the soul being the intricate part of you. While the body changes,the soul continues with you as seen by Ms. Caldwell's experiences. Why do you recognize certain places and dislike certain people? Is deja vu an imprint from a past life? That is with what this book tantalizes us.A completely objective evaluation of Ms.Caldwell's past lives lets us to think that we are a compilation of our past.

Jess Stearn and Taylor Caldwell were friends. They shared the same literary agent. At the opening of this book they were at a social gathering and debated the premise of reincarnation. Taylor Caldwell stated flatly that she didn't believe in it. Stearn admitted he was skeptical as well. Hence, their search for the soul began -- Stearn full of enthusiasm, Caldwell full of doubt and denial. Jess Stearn took Taylor Caldwell to a hypnotist and lo and behold, the skeptic Taylor Caldwell told of the many lives she lived, all revealed over numerous hypnosis sessions. I won't say much more (don't want to spoil it for you), but I will tell you that this was a fascinating (and fun) read. Jess Stearn's skillful writing makes you feel like an old friend is sitting with you telling you a story. This book is very much worth your time and energy to read. Don't miss it.

At the time book was written Taylor Caldwell was still alive and having read her books "Search for a Soul" provided an insight into her writings and the basis of her knowledge of ancient times. This book explains how her knowledge baffled others when she actually had no formal education. I highly recommend it for her fans and persons with an interest in reincarnation.
