Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Anyone familiar with the existing body of literature on past lives will recognise this book as a significant contribution. Roy Stemman , editor of the magazine Life & Soul, previously named Reincarnation, has spent many years gathering together a wealth of examples of apparent past life recall. If anything, the high number of stories crammed into each chapter becomes a little overwhelming, though they do represent the vast body of evidence available on the subject.
Chapters cover rebirth within families, soul mates, group reincarnation, special talents, war victims and birthmarks, to name a few, and examples from around the world are used to illustrate each point. Hence we learn of four-year-old Uvashnee Raffan who, on a trip to deliver some sand, recognised the house she lived in as a child called Sudima and was able to correctly identify relatives from her past life. Likewise, there are the Pollock twins, apparently reincarnations of their two sisters killed in a road accident. As in many of the cases cited, they identified toys they had owned in their past lives and also the house where they had lived.
Despite the apparently endless supply of evidence for reincarnation, however, the most striking aspect of this book is its level-headed approach. Stemman goes to great lengths to balance the amazing stories with arguments opposing reincarnation.
This is a vigorously researched, scholarly book but one which is nevertheless easy to read and engrossing. Many are quick to write off belief in reincarnation as "cranky", but this book may cause some to think again. --Dale Evans --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I bought this book, at the same time as One Soul, Many Lives - both by roy Stemman and found they were identical books. Just the covers and titles were different and there was nothing to say that they were the same. So please don't waste your money like I did by buying what you think may be two books about a similar subject. It's really a con.
As for the content, it's a bit heavy going but gets there in the end.

Bought this book to take on holiday, but was little disappointed with it.
It fails to grab your attention and is slow moving.
