Product Description
Product Description
"During the last twenty years, seven books of mine have been published as historical novels which to me are biographies of previous lives I have known. Far Memory is the autobiography of my first thirty years in the twentieth century. From early childhood, often to my extreme discomfort, I was sometimes aware beyond the usual range of the five senses. I tried to ignore the implications of this awareness, but it was too insistent; so in an attempt to understand what was happening I laboriously trained the faculty of far memory. This book describes, among other things, how I did so and what happened to me as the result. "Far Memory, Joan Grant's autobiography, tells how Winged Pharaoh came to be written. It is a most touching, most amusing, most astonishing real life story." London Daily Express "So fluent, dramatic and now and then humorous is she that her story may captivate even non-believers in extra sensory powers." Publisher's Weekly

Format:Paperback
Joan Grants autobiography, (previously known as Time Out of Mind) was recommended to me by a friend, and it makes for fascinating reading. First published in 1956, this is an interesting insight into that time period.
The Far Memory the title refers to is the ability to recall past lives, and, in Joans case, she is able to do this in great detail. The book has snippets from other books she has written, from her life as an Egyptian Pharoah, to her life in Italy. It's written so matter-of-factly, you don't have any reason to doubt it.
She has led a fascinating life, and you will find you get involved in no time. From her childhood to adulthood, she will take you on a journey; often inspiring, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. She will also make you think, when it comes to your views on God and the afterlife, and her book is very refreshing.
I have now ordered The Winged Pharoah, and am very much looking forward to it. If you have an open mind, and enjoy a good read, I would definitely recommend this.

Delightful, True Period Piece Exploring Reincarnation & More
16 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
Joan Grant writes her autobiographical story here of discovering, at a very young age, abilities and realities we usually consider unreal. Her childhood, in early 20th-century England, was decorated with experiences of other places, other times, and other selves, and she describes these myriad colorful episodes in delightful, whimsical, humorous, and thoughtful terms. Her ability to tap into and then write about other lifetimes makes a charming and piquant story. Highly recommended!

Joan Grant on Reincarnation
30 Sep 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
'Far Memory' is a fascinating, wonderful personal account of how Joan Grant came to understand that she could remember previous lives. This evidence for reincarnation adds depth and meaning to the question as to what is humanity all about.
Two other excellent books by Joan Grant add to this: 'Many Lifetimes' (Joan Grant and Denys Kelsey); 'Speaking from the Heart' (Joan Grant, edited by Nicola Bennett, Jane Lahr and Sophia Rosoff).

Yes, There is reincarnation
11 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Even for the most doubting Thomas, Joan Grant lucidly and intelligently speaks of her personal experience of reincarnation,making the case for it without trying. This is good writing on an interesting and controversial ( at least in the West ) subject. I found myself wanting to read more of her work and now have, including a new book on her by her granddaughter and a student of hers. A must read for anyone interested in the subject, whether convinced of its validity or no.
