reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


From the back: In Search for a Soul Jess Stearn takes us on a fascinating exploration of psychic phenomena with world famous author Taylor Caldwell. Here, she relates intimate and startling details of several previous existences, of which she became aware only under hypnosis. Despite her initial skepticism, the world famous novelist allowered herself to be hypnotized and went into a series of trances in which recollections of previous existences began to surface. The "recollections" appear to be the basis for many of her novels, for they contain material of which she had no conscious knowledge.
